Airplanes and Airstreams

I went to another fly-in this last Saturday. It was called "Airplanes and Airstreams". This is like a wings and wheels, but you've got old and new travel trailers and they're all the "Airstream" brand. There was about 7 of those and maybe 12 or so airplanes on the ground at one time with some coming and going. It was way too hot for me and I stayed in the shade as much as I could. I saw some Horn Point guys. Some Light Sport guys. It was a kind of hazy day, and some said we would get T-storms but they never came. I went over to ESN afterwards because there was a Yak/Formation training event going on. And I had heard they had cars there too. But it was all over when I got there. And the restaurant was closed. And the hanger that has the rich guy and all his toys was closed up tight. I was hoping he might still be having an open house and maybe free food! The guys got a Spitfire. He's got a P-40. An L-39 Chek Jet, and the list goes on. Corvettes too. I don't know him, or his name, but I've been in that hangar and it's pretty cool. Before I sign off. I want to tell you about my flight over to the Airstreams event. I was so hot preflighting my plane and had the door and window open, but it would not cool off inside. How could it. It was in the nineties. I taxi out and the prop blast helps, but it's warm air. After takeoff I climbed to 8 thousand feet and got above the clouds. For a 40 mile flight. It felt good though. It was 49 degrees. I circled around and let the skin of 009 cold soak a little and I put myself over the vor radial and distance from SBY. Then I circled down and the clouds gave me a big hole and at 5 thousand I was below the clouds and back in the haze. I didn't have GPS coordinates, but the radial/dme had me right over it. It was easy to spot once I saw those travel trailers. I made a low pass and hot dogged around to land. Taxied up the XW runway to the end of the line and swung the plane around to park, shut down and push back. Pushed back into the bean field. The beans were about 8 in. tall. I climbed down into those beans, which looked good, considering the sere weather. And I walked through them around the wing and onto the turf taxiway. That's my kind of fly-in. GAI ::::+::::
