Another great day of flying






















One of the first things I noticed when we got to the Lewis County field was the unusual cloud formation by Mt. Rainier.  Right after that I realized all the cameras were home so I used my cell phone to take this one.  Thursday and Friday were spent finishing up the battery wiring changes so I could take the motor home flying today.  It was frosty again this morning when we got to the field but very little wind so I had my jacket off not long after I finished mowing half the runway.
When I took this picture the guys were looking at two guys way out in the field.  One guy had his engine quit and he made a deadstick landing out in the brush.  He hiked way out in the field and disappeared from sight.  His friend drove out and stopped in the right spot, pretty soon they came out with the plane.  The only damage was a broken prop.  I was surprised when we had a total of nine flyers out today.  This evening James stopped by for a little while after his JAL home run derby.
