You're making me envious, Len. Should have been 4 on 3 dogfighting and
if you could have dragged the fight into my Phase I area we would have
trounced the suckers! Stormy, you are starting to sound like my mother

Now I for one can appreciate how difficult that was... seems like w/o precise GPS
circling fixes or "pop smoke, Len" we'd never find each other even if we were
trying to be found :-)
Glad y'all are safe. I thought you were doing the actual tight climbing spiral
dogfighting that my neighbor and I have done where we try to get on each other's
six, and the G's really build fast. That would be dangerous in s-ships.
BTW, it's surprisingly difficult to out-turn and out climb a Cessna 185 in an
RV, but it can be done ;-)

Larry,
I was on the ground watching you and Ron fly overhead. A bunch of us
were hoping you would land as well so we could admire yours and Ron's
planes side-by-side.

After we charged my dead battery at RUQ, I followed Ron to Lake Norman.
The pattern was full and there were planes waiting to back taxi on the
runway. We made a loose initial approach (Ron with smoke on), and when
he turned left to continue the pattern I climbed right for Twin Lakes.
(The frequency was crowded, but I did bid Ron farewell -- not sure he
heard me.)
I survived landing on the more challenging rwy 27 at 8A7, so I guess I
do remember how to operate my own plane after 9 weeks without. I hadn't
even shutdown before the first admirer was at the hanger. After a
couple minutes there were a dozen people in my hanger welcoming the
plane home. Pam and I both got a kick out of that. What a great
airport, that Twin Lakes.
I have several things to do on the plane before the week of SNF, but it
sure is great to have it back!
