Picture taking is not my strong point, but managed to shoot about 100 over 3 days of Arlington. Here's a few:
I think this RV belonged to the previous owner of Dougs scooter![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Randy's RV-3(had to wait for the judges to step aside to snap this pic)
RV's at sunrise
Incase no one has seen FrankH's RV straight and level
Not RV's but, Balloons in the morning are always cool
Other highlights:
Meeting and talking with Rod Bower. When a builder of his caliber will spend a few minutes with a nobody like me, I take notice. His stuff is outstanding. He had a display for his new improved RamAir system...NICE!, VERY NICE.
Bob Honig of Eagle Engines/American Propeller is always full of info and time.
Aerosport Power had another nice display (i managed to keep my wallet shut for now)
AvMap-nice unit but still no word on weather capability
Dynon180-EFIS for me. The rep holding down the booth while I stopped by was a newbie and didn't know much more than I.
I got to NWEAA fly-in after 18+hours on the road with a pitstop at Vans. Wed, Thurs, were very quiet and great for a relaxing time. Friday things picked up a little. Just when we were getting worried about the state of aviation, Saturday openned with a flurry of folks flying in. But I had to work the next day and with a big drive ahead I hit the road again. Roundtrip ~1800miles, 30hrs of windshield, 110gals($4.15ave)...next time I hope to fly it!
