Well went up to see Angelo this weekend to pick up my old Red Dominator to bring back here to sell for him - already took a deposit on it last week from a local PRA chapter 13 member.
I brought Shannon and Kasey so they could play at the beach while I did gyro stuff. Angelo wanted us to go flying together for a little while before I took the blades off the Dominator to load up to come back.
It was very windy and bumpy yesterday on the eastern shore. The Corn and soybean fields looked like they were going to get blown over due to the strong winds. I estimate it was blowing at least 20 mph gusting to 30+ with lot's of nice powerful thermals mixed in for excitement. Maybe it was worse, maybe I was just scared, but either way Angelo didn't fly his machine at all and I only went up for 20 minutes. Sure wish I could have flown longer. I wish I could have taken more pics too, this area was THE MOST BEAUTIFUL area I have ever flown over. I could fly here forever.
Anyway here is some pics. This first one was taken early Saturday morning. Kasey saw a Tractor in Angelos yard - first time Kasey has noticed a tractor - and he loved the BIg tires on the back!
