We left for the Cowlitz Valley Radio Control Flyers barbecue at seven this morning. We were the second ones there and right away I could see the runway needed mowing. I got a few things out so we could move around in the motor home and started mowing. It took about an hour, but the field looked much better when I finished.
Lots of flying went on today, when I took this picture there were five planes in the air. Three of them were making passes down the runway together. There were several midairs today, my friend Dave and I hit and the only damage was to both of our propellers. Both planes flew again, mine with a new prop and his just had a nick in the prop.
Vera counted fourteen flyers at one time and some more came after that. Five members of the Lewis County Radio Controllers came down for the day. When you add in the family members there we had a pretty large turn out.
We stayed and I flew until the sun went down. My last flight was with the little quad videoing the field and the sunset. Vera suggested a Burgerville milkshake on the way home, Marion berry is the seasonal flavor now and it was delicious. It was kind of sad to pull into the driveway and not see Barry's motor home and PT Cruiser. I have really enjoyed visiting with him every day for the last couple of weeks.
