Everything is coming closer and being compressed as we age! Everything is stiffer except for the things that should be. 😁

BBQ flyin at KFRH (FrenchLick, Indiana). Three of us River Rats from Butler County Ohio - Larry Wolf (RV8, Bruce Brielmaier (RV8), and me (RV6), flew over as a three ship. When we got there, we could barely find a place to park. They had an excellent turnout, and the food was awesome. The RV’s outnumbered all other single types by a wide margin.

Default Holland MI Tulip festival
My wife and I flew over to Holland MI for the Tuplip Festival. When we flew over the http://www.veldheer.com/ Tulip Farm, we were not that impressed. We had a hard time finding it and we knew where it was!

We flew into KBIV and the very nice people at FlightLevel Holland let us use a really nice car to drive to the farm. It was much better than we expected. 7 acres and over 5 million bulbs. Wow. Smooth flight on the way over, a bit bumpy on the way back but over 200 mph ground speed with the wind so it only took about 35 min.

It is worth going over to see if you are in the area.

That doesn't surprise me. The old Piper Apaches were pretty slow even with both engines at full bore!

Default Last of fiberglass work
Installed wingtip lens and FlyLED. Fitting wingtips to wings today which wraps up fiberglass work! They should be in epoxy primer then paint by the end of the week. Getting close!
