Good seeing Archie and Tara and and Dale. Am pleased to see Kevin right in the mix of it. We had a great time and thanks to Nick and Bill for scoring and line directing. THanks to Culpepper barnstormers (Vince Tobacco showed me a new emblem idea for the club which was very suiting for barn-storming). Although we did not have the time to check out the locale, we flew basically in the middle of a civil war era cavalry encampment adjacent to the famous battle (near the location of the largest cavalry battle of the civil war).
Other goings on were a close look at several Contra units that were on display and /or flown.
Cheers,
Don
