When we got there, there was lots of food and drink. Some of it I couldn't drink until we got home. I spotted some hop plants across the field and was given some of it's bounty as I was one of the people from afar! They called it taildragger ale. Really good! Carmel grains and good centennial hops... right from the field!
We arrived Saturday afternoon just missing Dave the Governor and company from Belfast. They were by for breakfast.
We did a few checks for deer on the runway before we left. None were discovered... Here is the video:

My wingmen were Mike (Drill and Buck) in his RV-8 and Master Proffetty in his RV-6 now known as "Leaky".
A great time at Grignon's Field!
The following day I went to Simsbury, CT for their fly in. I was amazed at the number of planes there!
All tolled it was 5.1 hours flight time for the weekend. Looks like I will pass 500 hours in the first two years of operation for this plane. Not bad for this vicinity!
What a great machine Van makes!
