Fridays are the mowing day at the club field. Dan had already done the parking area and was finishing the pits when we got there. I volunteered to do the runway while he did the other mowing. I put the roller on and rolled as I mowed. I ended up going over it twice but it was fairly smooth when I got done. I was hoping to fly the new F-4 Phantom that I had hauled to Arizona and back but never got around to test flying.
It was overcast with light wind this morning, Chuck is just taking off with his Apprentice in the background
It is all set for it's first flight which went great!
Dan got this picture as it landed, he also took the one above.
The F-4 and Vortex make a good looking pair. When I tried a second flight I forgot to put the flaps down for take off. I forced it into the air and it stalled, luckily it was almost level when it went into the ground so there was very minor damage.
It cleared off this afternoon and we had a great view of Mt St Helens through the windshield.
I zoomed in and took this picture through the windshield, I sure do like the Nikon P900 for shots like this.
Fellow club member Ken sent me this cool picture of him on an F-4 when he was in the Navy.
