Windy Weather Flying

The weather forecast showed some wind and it was right!  It was a steady six to ten mph wind all day with gusts to 13 or 14 and I saw a gust of 20 once.
This is Leonard's Ultra Stick shooting a touch and go in the wind.  I got in six flights and Leonard must have gotten in about the same number as we flew together most of the time.  I don't know how many touch and goes we made, but it was lots.
Gene brought out his giant scale Pete that he is taking to Florida for a contest and put a test flight on it.
 It flew great and handled the wind very well.  He did find a couple of minor things to fix before he leaves.
Not only do we have the mountains to look at but behind us is an interesting view also.
The old gas pumps are across the road and the threshing machine is in the same field we use.












We took the long way home along the Cowlitz river and I spotted this field full of geese.  There were so many I couldn't get them all in one picture.
