Haven’t played that one in a while, I’ve been going through the missions in “Ghost Recon”

Morning E.G.C. Looks like our nice weather ends today. Predicting about an inch of rain tomorrow.

It's great to see a Foxhole up today!

Boy, does the mention of those war games bring back some memories . . . .

We had a typical spring Colorado weekend. Spectacular Saturday with sun and temps in the 70's, and snow on Sunday!

I’ve looked, and looked. I don’t see the bomb bay. ;-(

Just a carton or two of eggs out the door works just like a cluster bomb.

Cool plane!

Well it was loosely planned and since he had to fly in good weather it was short notice for the actual fly-in but luckily our schedules allowed it!

All we need to see more Foxholes is more time. We’ve got to learn how to do short ones and that’s not easy!

We had a couple good days of weather in the 70’s, luckily now snow on the way but we will have rain and high winds.

LOL. Sam and EOD were discussing mounting a quad 50 on it, naturally.

I was thinking if it was mine I’d get a parachute. Not for me as I probably wouldn’t fly high enough for it to work but could we build one just for the plane?

I had a ballistic parachute on it at one time but it was so complicated on how it had to work, that I took it off. I had absolutely no confidence in it. I might go to a persoanal parachute in the future for that one last chance. Remember the big flock of buzzards I landed through? They could really mess up a wing strut or control surface on it.

I suspect if you cut loose with a quad 50, you could make it go backwards.

I don't think I'd want to fly in one of those. Now, if I ever strike it rich, I might want one of those miniature autogyros.

I like those turned based hex games. I’m more into strategy than reflexes.

It’s been snowing all evening here.

Just over an inch accumulated at Castle Sparksalot.

The barrels probably weigh more than the airframe.
