June 3, 2017 - Cambridge Wings & Wheels - Form

Today was Cambridge Airport Wings and Wheels fly-in.  They had asked Riggo to organize a four-ship RV flyover and missing man formation so I was a part of it with Riggo, Mugsy and Zack.   We met for breakfast and briefing at Easton Airport.

Most of the following pictures were taken by Zeke, who was riding with Zack.  Zack and Zeke.  I know.
   
I need to figure a way to mount some rear-view mirrors like this in the RV-7!
   
 
   
Serious discussion.
   
Riggo about to lead us out.
   
I was number two.
   
Then Mugsy, then Zack.

As soon as I exited the aircraft, another pilot was on me asking about the RV-7.  He's thinking about buying one.  He sat inside mine to see if it would fit.
   
 
Some heated discussion at the debrief.  Zack on the left, Riggo in the center, Mugsy on the right.   The woman was an airport representative.
   
LIned up on the ground at Cambridge.

Paul C. flew over from Essex Skypark in his Super Cub.  Which he built from a kit.
   
Essex Skyparkians Chuck B. and Tom K. also on hand.
   
 
   
I think this Waiex is based out of Ridgely.
   
Jim T. from Cedar Meadows on hands in his red RV-8.
   
Departing Cambridge, I realized I had never really taken a picture of the town.  So here it is.
   
Looking back.  I never really noticed there was a golf course north of the runway.  Good to know.
   
On my own, I did a little fun fly down low.
