I wasn¡¯t laughing at your landing, I was laughing at the balls it took to take an untested aircraft around the pattern. ?Hats off Alex.?

Had a great time, y¡¯all . . . I lost track of how many burgers, brats, Italian Sausage, etc we put away but we did the airfield proud ¡ thanks to all who came and that is to those who stuck a little in the cup toward goodies for the next free for all. Daryl Habit called all the way from Cincinnati to lament he was not there.
Mark and I had a great time talking about the Kolb¡¯s first flights and the tweaks that are being applied, one at a time. Once tuned in, the airplane should be a delight to fly. Meanwhile flight #2 met the earth convincingly (on purpose, .. I was trying to stretch my glide so I¡¯d know when it would pay off in ground effect. Well, that¡¯s my story. Kemper laughed)
Make plans to attend the Saluda Spring Concert ¡°Mountain Song¡± featuring Hummel builder/pilot and, of course, Fairweather Flyer: John Wilkinson.
It sure is great to be back at the Airfield!
