Debbie and Faro Field

Our big surprise today was when Debbie texted me a picture of her Bachelor of Science in Nursing.  Boy are we proud grandparents.

We stopped at Toledo for one flight on the Pitts and then we went to Faro Field on the Pleasant Valley Rd. near Napavine.  We had seen on Facebook that they were going to be out there for some test flying of a new plane.

It is a great place to fly, there is lots of wide open space.  This is another of those pictures that suddenly appeared on the camera.  I am not sure if Jeff or Tina took it but it was a pleasant surprise.  My Pitts is in the upper left hand corner and Sonny's plane is the lower one.

This is Sonny getting ready for one of his flights today.  The safety rope and stake is always a good idea when starting these bigger gas engines.

I flew four out of the five today, I didn't fly the yellow Mustang because the grass was a little long for it.

This is the T-34 that Bob B. test flew today.

This is the first takeoff, he was really happy with the way it flew.

This is the landing after the second flight.

This is something you don't see at the field everyday, a 1938 Plymouth.  It belongs to the property owner and he asked Bob to exercise it a little so he ran up and down the runway for a while with it.  It was a good day, when we got home we washed all the rigs before going in for the night.
