The trip went fine. I arrived just after noon on Wednesday.
New Friends and Old
While I was getting to know Mark (on the right) and Joe (on the left), the
folks who run Wings Of Freedom, Chuck S...(too many consonants) Primary
Bratwurst Buyer of CGS, arrived in his space-time machine!
Sorry about the picture quality. I'm still learing to use this camera.
Though, perhaps, it's best Chuck's face not be too visible...
That's Ed Fisher's prototype, apart, on a trailer, in the background.
The trip back to Illinois was horrible. Wind and rain all the way. The roads weren't all dry 'till I got near the Indiana/Illinois line. Tornado warnings were posted in OH counties I'd just passed through!
Under normal circumstances, I might have done a 180 and chased some weather. But I was hauling a precious load.
I drove straight through. And got home just before dawn.
Still filled with highway adrenaline, I stayed up 'till dawn.
Dawn breaks over the Flit-Kit arrival.
"Her Podness" Linda, my beloved wife, awoke to survey the change in
our net-worth.
Linda likes airplanes.
Then I crashed. It had been a long day.
I slept about 12 hours!
The compass goes up near the top longeron.
And the main panel is tied into the engine support tubes.
It works for my tri-focals...
