I don't know about the rest of you guys, but Sunday September 7 was pretty much the best day of flying I've ever had at TEMAC.  Perfect temperatures, bright sunshine, unlimited visibility, north wind at 5-10K... what more could you ask?  (Well, maybe a bit of thermal activity -- there wasn't much).  I spent 4 hours at the field and left with zero damage to 5 planes after greasing all my landings onto the runway (those of you who know me will understand the sense of accomplishment!).  I hope we get a few more days like this one before end of season.

Yes.  I heard it was very nice.  I'm sorry I missed it!

Great stuff, Gordon!

I was at the field before heading to Frenchman's Bay.
It was like an impromptu fun fly!

Sunday was a great day flying out Ottawa way too. Congrats on your maintenance free day!
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

I went to the field in the morning.  Despite the sun, it was great to fly.  I took the biplanes out for a spin, as well maiden the pop-wing and the T-45.  (Bruce, thank you for hand launching the planes for me).   8)

Nice work Gordon! It does feel good to have a day like that.


Sunday was excellent! Lots of good flying, some exciting wrecks, float planes at Frenchmans Bay, what else can you ask for?





Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.
