The morning weather today was awesome! Mid 60s on the ground, but, warmer aloft and virtually no wind. I left Cedartown at about 0740 in my Gyroplane while Jon Carleton was testing the new yellow Tango.
I was the first pilot to fly in to the breakfast at around 0800. The food was great and it was for a great cause. By the time I finished eating, Louis Hartsell arrived in the Buzzard Gyroplane. He was about the fourth pilot to arrive. He stopped at the FBO for a restroom break and I was walking down to let him know where the breakfast was being served when Ron Hlozansky arrived in his car. Ron told him where the food was being served and he started up his machine to taxi down, so I rode with Ron back to the KMZ Hanger and the breakfast.
About a 15 minutes later Jon Carleton, Alex Vagner, Kurt Carlson and Rex Garner all arrived from Cedartown. Jon and Alex touched down first in the yellow Tango followed by Kurt in the white single place Tango and then Rex in his red Baby Ace.
I had a lunch date with my wife Danita and was the first pilot to depart the event for the trip back to Cedartown. The trip back to a little longer due to a 5 mph headwind, but, still a very quick trip of about 25 minutes.
I wish I had been able to stick around for the noon lunch event with Ron's gang of sport pilot buddies and get some more afternoon flying, it was such a beautiful day for flying.
Next Saturday, I should have the whole day to hang around, it may be a good day to fly over to Piedmont-Centre, AL and back, just for something to go see and do.
