Saturday morning I flew over to Bridgeport (KXBP) for some gas …
Gas Run
…and while I was there some friends text-suggested I fly over to nearby Gainesville (KGLE) - the LoneStar STOL competition was going on. David and Dawn had a shade tent set up right at the line. Okey doke.
I’ll be there in 14 minutes .

Umpire in the zone…
Saw Jay Pratt’s ‘Shooter’, called his phone (VM), and walked around some looking for him. No joy. Bumped into Mike Clark and Don C. (BC Squadron mates). When I got back to my plane to leave there was a card from Jay - he found my plane too. ;^). Re-checked in with some other RV folk I stumbled across. Would have stayed longer, but I couldn’t find a food truck and I had the hungies.
I did get one short video of a Courier scratching.

This plane is amazing. 1.1 hours on a pleasant Saturday morning in the RV. A lot for me <grin>. Felt nice to see a non-simulated sky.
Hope you’re having a nice weekend.
