Horn Point Revisited

We really all had a great time. The weather cooperated. There are two grass runways at Horn Point. The one we landed on was pretty soft and muddy, but as the sunny day wore on, it dried out a bit. Some airplanes were slipping and sliding but since they were taildraggers it was pretty manageable. My Coupe Cadet did not like the mud at all, and I damn near got stuck. There were two other Coupes there. A '46 Ercoupe, and an Alon A-2. My friend BD was there with his beautiful Stearman and he won a prize. Another friend of mine has a DC-3, a Fairchild PT-23, a classic 172, and many others. Guess what he brought to HP? His 1970 Pontiac Bonneville! My "other" plane, the Cher OH kee showed up flown by my buddy Paul and he really did a nice job with it through the mud and all. He and I flew formation back home to Rosewind and it was about as pretty as it gets. Pretty bumpy though, and I bet they had some great soaring which I missed up at Smyrna. My strip was in great shape considering the rain we had... Some folks have said they can't get to my blog, or they can't find my You tube vids. So... I have a web site now with links to that stuff. http// www.grasstrip.com . Note only 2 s's not 3. Like grass trip. I'll set up a better link next post. Now I must go to North Carolina. In the PA-28? No, in a Ford F150. G.A.Informal.
