Evening, Sir Percy
Yeah, that elder statesmen was Norm Kaz - he had a bit of unluck on Friday before Helen and I arrived, and was putting the landing gear back on his big 1/3 scale Fokker D.VII when we saw them. He managed to get everything back together, and put in a couple of nice flights with his plane over the weekend - in fact, he won "Best Military" with the D.VII.
Helen snagged a couple pics:
We spotted for each other on Saturday, and on Sunday I even got the opportunity to fly his D.VII around a bit - that is one nice flying airplane!!
Yep, we're now looking forward to Ohio, then Muncie, then Ohio (to name the three large WWI events in the Ohio/Indiana area) - and speaking of Muncie, I've got my application for the Hoosier Dawn Patrol heading your way! VERY much looking forward to the events this season.
Just gotta sort out my new Eastbourne, and figure out why the motor only runs for a few seconds at a time now. Darn electrics, trying to teach an olde dog new tricks. Heck, I haven't learned most of the old tricks yet!!!!
Very best regards,
Lee McD
