I spent the day up on the scaffolding waxing the upper part of the motor home.

The wind forecast for today wasn't too bad so we went flying. It turned out to be a nice day, I only flew three planes but I had a great time with them.
It is nice taking a break in the motor, having a snack and visiting with Vera.
There were only two others out flying today. I test flew Joel's new 4-Star for him, it flew great and only needed a couple of trim adjustments. I took this picture as I was making sure everything was locked up.

I had so much fun yesterday and the forecast for today was so good we decided to go flying again. There was a much bigger turnout today, we counted sixteen club members there during the day.
People would come and go during the day so it was never too crowded.
Ralph a member from Vancouver built this Fokker DR-1 triplane during the virus lock down. He found this paint scheme that was used by Lothar von Richthofen during WW1. He chose it because he is having some vision problems and it shows up good in the sky.
This is Steve's Starduster II, the gas pumps at Kelso airport were broken so he flew to the Toledo airport to fuel the plane. I taught Steve to fly radio control when he was twenty one years old. He is now fifty eight and has had his pilots license for a year and a half and is learning aerobatics with the Starduster. He walked over to the flying field and visited, it was nice to see him and get caught up with what he is doing.
I didn't know Vera had taken this picture until I downloaded the pictures from the camera. I have so much fun shooting touch and goes with the Skylane, it is normally the first and last plane I fly each day.
I mounted a video camera on my F-15 today, this is a screen capture during a pass over the runway. It was a great day of flying and visiting with friends.
