I met onewhippedpuppy while he was working the Beechcraft display and xlr8 stopped out at my airplane..... Nice to chat with Pelicans face to face. The first couple days were chilly, but I will take that any day over last years 100 degree days. I am not sure my wife agrees.
We got a late start Saturday due to low ceilings, but after some local scud running and dodging a few light rain showers in Ohio and Indiana, we had a great flight up just off the Chicago shoreline under the class B airspace.
Our later than normal arrival at about 5:00 pm had us parking in row 90 about even with the ultralight barn.
A friend of a friend just finished restoring this Funk that he got as a basketcase.... It will no doubt be feaured in either Sport Aviation or their vintage magazine as they were taking it out for a photo flight session. It had a swarm of people looking at it all week as it is immaculate.
