Flying
We went flying at Toledo today. It was a big surprise when we walked out to leave and it was raining. I had to use the wipers most of the way to Exit 57, then it let up. When we got to the flying field it was sprinkling again. By the time I had put the awning out and got set up it had quit. There was no wind so I shot touch and goes with the Skylane for the whole first flight, lots of fun because I could do both left and right hand patterns. Then I flew the F-4 Phantom, I am getting used to it and got nice landings after both flights today. I also made a couple of nice flights with the Bob Hoover P-51. We left earlier than normal to beat the heat plus the wind was picking up as I loaded up and said my good byes. On the way home we dumped the holding tanks and filled up with gas. I spent the afternoon and evening working on the Kitfox. I knew I had painted the landing gear but I could not find it, I do a good job of hiding things from myself at times. As I was heading in for the evening I spotted them hanging on a piece of wire in the shop's front room.
