greetings All,
just to let you know that I am still at it.
imho, today was very productive.
I have been wanting to host a formation of aircraft for quite some time now and today I was successful in putting together a ragged group of 5. four were on auto pilot and the other, I flew manually.
granted, they were all on the same course and it will be a real neat trick to get them to change direction and still stay together, but I am very happy with the initial results.
naturally, more work needs to be done, but don't be surprised if you see a flight of bombers popping through the clouds one of these days.
as a side note, my wife had the bright idea of driving down to Portland tomorrow and having Valentine's Dinner at the restaurant where my daughter works. it's a bit of a surprise so don't tell my daughter.
needless to say, I will not be around Sunday as I will be in the car for the 3 1/2 hour return trip from Portland.
one of these Sunday's we'll have to get together for a little flyin' and shootin'.
see you then.
