The sky was beautiful today!

We went to Toledo and flew today.  I got three really nice flight on the P-39.  I also got to try out the shocks I added to the landing gear of the Pilatus Porter.  They worked as I had hoped and cut the bounce on landing way down.
Steve and Doug put in several glider flights today and there were lots of thermals.  This is Steve's ASW 28 coming in for a landing.
Steve is getting the ASW 28 off the runway.  I may have to put my ASW 17 back together so I can play with them.  We had a good turn out today, I counted nine flyers.
The sky was beautiful all day, this is our field's magnetic tree with the clouds behind it.  If you fly over by that tree it seems to attract your airplane and there have been a number of them in it.
Another view of the clouds, I am looking Southwest from the flying field.
