I must have mentioned to someone that I didn't have a ride to Rock Hill. Scott
Keadle dropped in the other day said Ming was going with him but he would like
to take me up in his Extra 300 if I could get to Rock Hill with someone else.
Ben Burril called me on Friday and offered a seat in his RV-6. To top it
off Barry Thigpen sent me an email offering a ride in his Giles 202. Ben flew
into Gold Hill about 11:00 Saturday morning and inspected the RV-8 (getting
real close to first flight) and we raced over to Rock Hill for hamburgers. The
guy across the picnic table from me looked familiar... Turns out he is Gene
Musslewhite, my squadron commander from George AFB. We flew F-105's together
and I was one of his flight commanders when we started the first F-4G Wild Weasel
squadron in 1979. Haven't seen Gene in 25 years and here he is the Airport
Administrator at Rock Hill! Barry was strapping in his Giles while I strapped
into the front seat of Scott's Extra and we were soon joined up on Barry's
wing. Not too close because Barry was doing rolls and inverted flight most of
the way to Shelby. I got to wring out the Extra for a few minutes before landing
to straighten out my equilibrium enough to get into the Giles. Back into
the air and Barry let me have my way with the "Primal Fear".. then he showed
me how it is supposed to be done! Wow, what a roll rate!
I've never flown an RV-6, and Extra or a Giles and I flew them all today.
Thanks to Ben, Scott and Barry. You made my day.

Yes, it was a good day for flying. I had a nice ride in Ron's RV-4 (a first
for me). We investigated his vibration issue. It is peculiar, but not as
severe as I thought from his previous descriptions, at least not from the
back seat. It reminded me of the limitation I have on my prop to avoid
2000-2250 rpm. I inadvertently loitered in that range in my plane one day
and it really got my attention. The pulses coming from the prop were very
obvious. Ron's issue seems similar in nature, but less intense. I don't
know if that will help with the collective diagnosis or not....

Double thanks to Ben, who also gave Ming a ride to Shelby and knowingly
risked pregnant-lady chunks... She really enjoyed it and asked me to pass
along her appreciation. (She kept her chunks to herself, for those who were
wondering). It was good to see everybody. Scott
