Default Should of stuck around a bit longer to make the photo
Great turnout, as always. It was nice to meet Eddy, Alex, Don, Ryan, and Kristen (think I got all those names right.)

And here was the most interesting conversation (second to DAN LANDRY of course ) I had while talking to a gentleman that was checking out my RV-4....turns out, he has an RV-4.5!
Me: "...wow, really? 23X mph in an RV-4? I saw the Sam James cowl and pants...."
Gentleman with whom I was talking: "Yeah, I'm Sam James."

Doh!

Default Winter Haven Fly-In
I really look forward to the Winter Haven Fly-In. Been in Florida for the last five year when it was going on and always had a great time. Good food, big aircraft display, and lots of friendly people. Big Hoosier Howdy to all.
Next year!!!

Default More fun at X01
Becky has talked me into an airboat ride.

She's arranged for transportation and a ride through the glades at 9:00AM and return before the lunch soire.

Anybody else interested? Makes for an early launch for us from ZPH to make it by 9:00 am.
