I’ll think about driving to this one. I’ll be headed to Iowa on the 14th, I could leave a day early.

Plane goes in the shop the 8th.

It's already too late to make it driving. Next time!

Another good turnout for the East Central Region. We had four attendees. One Super III and one Sundowner on the field. Weather was good for the arrivals. Warren Smith recently had work done on his fuel injection system for his Super III. Completed just in time for BACFest. He thought he and Melissa were not going to be able to go. I called Harvey Haag and they still have some rooms available at the hotel. I hope to see you both there. Melissa mentioned they have a couple of Honda Motocompacto folding e-scooters. They are about the size of suitcase. Fit easily into the baggage area of the plane. I looked them up. They go 15mph and have a 12 mile range. Full charge in 3.5 hours. Might get you out of a tight spot if there was no courtesy car on the field. Checkout the picture of Bob Trader's Sundowner with a fresh coat of wax. Looking good. Bob had to get going due to weather coming down out of the Chicago area headed Southeast into Indiana. I know I ran into some damp roads and a few sprinkles on the way home. I hope your flight was uneventful Bob.

Thanks to Bob, Warren, and Melissa for attending.

Looking forward to BACFest next week.
