I flew from Venice to Augusta yesterday and decided to make the 200nm jaunt to Morristown this morning. I wasn't disappointed!!

Great day for a fly-in and Brian's (Brantel on VAF) EAA chapter 1494 put on a terrific one, especially considering that they have a very small chapter. Lots of unique aircraft and some great looking RV's.

Met some RV builders and owners (Hi Matt). It was a blast.

I was lucky enough to catch Brian on a break from his fly-in duties. He looks terrific and feels great. We had lunch and then it was back to work for him and off to see the airplanes for me.

(Sorry that I'm not at my Mac and can't figure out this new fangled pc software so I can't composite photos )


Hey Vlad, thought I might catch you here (Barnwell) as I refueled for the over the mountains flight to Morristown.




Over the mountains we go....




There she is....KMOR




Finally got to meet THE MAN himself....




The airport staff provided rides for those who have yet to taste flight.....and they did it safely. Other chapters take note.





to be continued....Airplane pics, I promise.

Too soon over and I headed back East to Augusta....



OK, the P-51 is clear.... let's roll




Thanks Chapter 1494 and Brian, in particular, for a great day of flying.





For those of you still building, it get's better fast as soon as your finish. For those on the fence, What are you waiting for?

Default Nice Fly-In

This was a very nice Fly-In. My wife and I were on our way back from a vacation in the Smokey Mts and I saw in Socialflight.com that there was a fly-in at Morristown on Saturday. We got to meet fellow RVers Brian, Gary and Jesse.

Wish I could have flown in. Maybe next year.
