Wednesday Flying and James' Birthday

Tuesday 9-26-17 I spent the day charging batteries for a day of flying Wednesday.  There was a beautiful moon tonight when I came in from the motor home after the last batteries were charged so I got the camera and went back out for some pictures.  They turned out great and this one got lots of likes on Facebook.

Wednesday 9-27-17 Vera had bible study so I headed up to the field early.  It was a little foggy when I first arrived but it cleared up fairly quickly while I was unloading.  I got the first flight on my new P-51 Old Crow before the other guys showed up.  It flew great and I put four flights on it before the day was over.

I had another great day of flying the P-39.  One of the guys had a GPS tracker and we put it in the plane to see how fast it goes.  I was sure surprised when it read 106 MPH.

Mt Rainier looked nice with a fresh coat of snow but it will not last long in the 85 degree temperatures we had today.

I headed home from flying about three so I could order and pickup pizza for James' birthday tonight.  Time sure flies by fast, he is twenty years old.  He is turning into a great young man with a fantastic smile.

Michelle is playing a recording of a friend's five year old counting that was hilarious.

As James was leaving I snapped a picture that turned out great.
