2023 Fly-in

 As you have noticed my posts have rather dried up. This one may well be the last. I have visited everywhere within range of my little planes fuel tanks at least 20 times, videoed all of them. There is little new, just wash- dry-repeat. Perhaps after I start hunting again things will be a bit more exciting.

Our fly-in was very nice and very smooth. We had 14 visitors this year, and with Brenda's shopping, there was no shortage of things to eat. The weather even cooperated for once, and there was little to no smoke from fires. 

My flying was restricted to checking Cows for the ranch next door and most of my time in the Kitchen. Mine was the only Kolb aircraft, all the others had Experimental Amateur Built planes that were capable of speeds of 90 miles per hour at a minimum. Three of the guy's had the newer 360 degree cameras that take great video. With the increased speed they were able to cover much more ground. This one is from a friend that lives in Arizona and he flies both planes and drones. The video of the house and planes flying are from the drone. I was impressed. I believe you will be as well.

Everyone has now gone home except for John Hauck. He is doing exceptionally well, building strength every day. He has apparently beat his Cancer.
