October 14, 2008 - EAA Chapter Picnic |
||||||
| This Saturday my local EAA Chapter had a picnic at a private airstrip over on the Eastern Shore. It was a beautiful fall day. Here a bunch of EAAers doing what we do best -- talking airplanes. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
Looking down the strip to the
east.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| And to the west. I'm sorry to have to say I drove to the picnic. I've never landed here either. Apparently the runway has a little dogleg to it. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
Most of the Chapter members flew
in.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| After building for seven years, George flew his RV-8 for the first time in July. He's still flying off his hours; yes, this airstrip is within his area. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Bruce's RV-8 has been flying for 3 or 4 years now. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Enjoying lunch by the main house. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
Karl, from nearby Kentmorr, flew over
to visit in his really nice
Cub.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| Always kind of funny to see someone flying the plane from the back seat. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
That's Dan's Challenger which he
keeps
here.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| Another Chapter member's Taylorcraft. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Departing. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Not a Chapter member, but another RV-8 driver hailing from nearby Easton. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Bruce gave us the RV grin. | ||||||
