SuperCubDriver Trip Update
Perry flew me to Greenville Downtown this morning in his C-172 to pick up my RV-8 with the repaired canopy. It was sad to say good-bye and especially when it hurts a quick good-bye is what I like. I owe him many thanks and more and hope our paths will cross again.

The school was on the way, not the slightest detour. A wildfire developed northwest of the school, large cloud, could smell it. The fog at LAX and Torrance disappeared so could fly as planned. Torrance temps at 23C, very nice after having 33C at Buchanan. Over LAX

Canopy Frame
