Last weekend our chapter had their annual fly-in. The turn out was pretty good. We had a mix of Ultra-Light, Light Sport, Experimental, Citabria's and Cessnas. (even a twin in the mix)

PapaKeith snapped off the above picture without my knowing it. I look so serious in that picture. "Man and his Machine" is all that comes to mind when I look at it. I think I was getting ready to hop in and fly my little aerobatic routine for the crowd, but I honestly don't know when he took the picture. In the reflection of my sunglasses, (Left eye) you can see PapaKieth in his yellow shirt taking the photo.

I would have posted a picture of the Capt'n, but he spent most of his time flying around in an Aeronca Chief, so we had to go up and snap one of him flying around ;).

I'll be photoshopping the people in the background and my yellow shirted self out of that image in the near future.
Note to self. Don't wear bright yellow shirt when taking photos :lol:

Marc (the owner of the Chief) emailed me this picture of his plane taken in the fifties!

Same plane, images are almost 60 years apart!

That is pretty cool. Wonder what a 50 year old RV will look like?
