There were at least 14 people at the field today on this record setting 21 degree sunny day.

Photo report:
2988- Andy keeps his plane together with rubber bands.
2996- Kenny readies his leaf blower.
2298- Glenn tries to keep the foam parts flying in formation.
2299- David is our keeper of all things round.
3000- Andy doing a high speed flyby...eventually.
3001- Michael's conclusion was the fuselage no longer lines up with the stab.
3004- Andy is our local propeller head.
3005- The starboard wing panel says "Swift".  The port wing panel should say "Notso"

Due to technical difficulties (stupidity!) I cannot attach my photos.  Will figure it out eventually.

Other highlights of today's stellar flying weather:
0147 - Proud Papa @Frank v B  Fokking around with his DR1.
0148 (see next post) - The Fokker DR1 quietly minding its own business and resting peacefully in the grass.
0150 (see next post) - The Fokker DR1 looking back fearfully from the cockpit upon hearing that Frank is about to commit it to a maiden flight - for which it did not ask!
0152 - "OK! There's no escaping this.  Here we go: 'Contact!' "
0154 - "Uh oh!  Clear and present danger at my 7 o'clock!  This does NOT bode well!"
0155 - "I wish I had opted for 2.4 GHz.  My antenna wire is feeling very threatened!"
0162 - "If I can just miss the goose sh__ I may have a chance."
0163 - "Scheveningen!!!"
0164 - "Bank right! Bank right! Bank right!"
0165 - "Phew! I escaped with just a broken tooth on a soft field landing.  Thank goodness for ploughed fields!!"
0167 - "Repeat after me: 'Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij! Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij! Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij!'." 
0171 - "Maybe if I play dead ...."
0175 - "I feel so much better with a fancy bright new prop!"
0178 - "What pole??"
0181 - "If Jim ( @Canuke ) could see me now!
0184 - "Oh yeah!  Knife edge!  Bring on the dogs!"
0188 - "It's now or never..."
0189 - "...something doesn't feel right..."
0190 - "Oooch!!"
0191 - "Owwch!"
0192 - "Yahoo!! I live to fly another day!  :D"
