Default High School Reunion

40th High School reunion in Augusta KS. I hadn't been back in 40 yrs and I was not prepared for the warm feelings when seeing familiar but changed faces. Wichita to Cincy, 22 gallons, 11.5K, 605 nm.

Flew back home to visit an old friend and former RV partner. Got to see the RV6 we built together. Great lunch in West Chester, PA then home to Frederick, MD. A almost 3 hr drive each way, cut to 35 minutes.

Default Miramar Airshow!

I got the chance to fly into MCAS Miramar and have my RV-9A on static display for the 3 days of the airshow.



I'll write up more on the experience when I get a chance.

I flew it!

Just bought a completed RV-7 and got my first 1.7 of transition training in it. Haven't been able to wipe the smile off my face since. Can't wait to get proficient and comfortable in it.

Please send cooler, nice weather to south Texas!

It runs in the family.
Alumni from 1989, 1991, and future Alumnae 2022.

Second weekend I brought along my 1990 Alumnae.


But this weekend, we stayed a little closer to home and were in good company for the night. The boys and their toys....




My daughter is a senior at "that" school and the whole clan came along for the game. Picked up the son at his school and flew to KTCL.



She is in Sports Media and normally works in the booth editing tape, but the big boys (CBS) were in town so she was working grip on the field.


Great to have the family together, even if for only a short time.
Another successful RV filled weekend!
