Finished Phase I testing this morning. Came home, did the paperwork and asked my wife if she wanted to go for a ride. I've been worried since I started the project that she might not like the back seat as she has clostrophobia issues. We decided to go to T82 (Fredericksburg, TX) for lunch; all of 12 miles away. As we landed there a P-51B called initial and we watched it land as we deplaned. Shorlty thereafter a B-17G and B-24J landed. Collings Foundation. We had a great lunch, looked at the warbirds and flew back home.

The best part of the day was that she loved it! She especially liked the view.
