Mark satin wanted some help with 3 planes (maiden- new AeroScout, re-trim the Tundra and first flight of the repaired SloPoke). We conspired to meet at the Field Friday at 2 pm and invited our best friends... and Andy. ;) Everyone showed up. Dave, Rob D., Simon, Bruce, Mark, Andy, Michael. Michael did his weather job and parted the rain clouds at 2 pm and the rain returned at 4 pm. We all flew. Worth the trip.

That was a sweet afternoon... 8)
Yes, it was definitely a sweet afternoon.
It was nice to see and enjoy everyone's company from a safe distance. The way I see it, it looks like everyone's complexion has improved significantly.
@Frank v B , while your photo's are
great good, @Andy Hoffer , you are 'magic' with a camera and the end results are both beautiful and astonishing. ;)
Andy are you going to share more photos and encourage more people to become conspiracy theorists?
Bruce,
re: your comment about Andy " you are magic' with a camera and the end results are both beautiful and astonishing. ;)"
We finally found a redeeming quality. He's not a total PITA* ;D ;D
Frank
* pain in the aperture. ;)
@Frank v B k and
@bweaver ,
Thanks guys. You are very kind. The fact is I have been blessed with a plethora of eclectic subject matter at TEMAC that never fails to entertain, no matter where I point the camera.
You guys always make my photographic day!! 8)
Cheers!
