A beautiful day for flying

Not long after we got to the Toledo flying field today Dan asked me if I would test fly his new Sukhoi.  It flew great with just a few minor trim adjustments so my first flight of the day was with his plane.
The next time I remembered to take a picture was just as I was getting ready for my fourth flight of the day with the silver P-51.  I ended up making sixteen flights on my planes and test flew three planes for other club members so I ended up with a total of nineteen.  We had a good turn out with ten other flyers also enjoying the beautiful day.  There were also bird watchers all over the area, apparently some rare for this area hawk had been spotted near the field.
Mt St Helens was sure looking good today, by the end of the day there was very few clouds left.
