What a pleasure to bring my RV-8 home to 52F and its new runway -- not repaved but a new runway. It's as smooth as any runway I've ever landed on. In fact, as I waited for my tail wheel to settle after my usual wheel landing, I couldn't feel it at all. I literally thought the tail wheel hadn't touched until I realized it had to have done so -- I was going to slow for it not to be on the ground.
I hope the feeling lasts.
Thanks to all at the POA board and the volunteers for making this happen -- and on schedule too!
I think I'm right in saying that visitors and residents alike please keep in mind this is a day VFR airport at the moment as the lighting is not back up and running. Watch NOTAMS for a future announcement when this is ready.
In the meantime, gotta love the moment.
