Lunch run to SEP: (4/3/10): Here it is...proof of life. It's true, I'm alive and well...and so is "13". It's also true that I have suspended racing operations and only get to enjoy flying thirteen once a month. It pains me greatly, but I do have other canard types to fly via my job in California. It's a very different type of flying, but flying non-the-less. So, when I get back home, I'm looking for any excuse to fly MY airplane. This time, I actually remembered to bring the camera...so here are some pics. Three of the "McKinney Racing Team" members decided to head out to Stephenville for some great BBQ. SEP is far enough away that we get to throw in some formation practice on the way. Race 21 (RV-7A, Tom Moore) was lead this time with Race 19 (Glasair-IIS, Dave and Susan Wilson) in #2 and I was #3 on the end taking one-handed pictures. We landed at SEP with a flurry of other aircraft and filled the ramp but managed to find a place to park. I noticed we were in good company and met up with a few other racers. Even my nemesis Larry Henney (Lancair 360, Race 36) was there with a buddy in a different Lancair that had just recently taken to the air. After the meet-n-greet, we all piled on the golf cart and headed down the trail.
A few minutes later, we were in BBQ Heaven. (last time, they were welcoming aliens) The "Hogs" had already invaded and the smokers were fired up! The wait in line was definitely worth it. We all had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful weather on the trip home too.
Lack of updates: Hi gang. Several of you have sent me email regarding the lack of updates on the website. Well, let me assure you that the Berkut, Sandy and I are all just fine. I've taken a "perfect job" in California that allows me to follow my aviation passions, but it IS one heck of a commute. I'm only back in Texas a few days a month so my time is extremely limited but I still find the time to fly "13". Sandy and I still plan to make it to the AirVenture Cup race/Oshkosh and we're looking forward to Rough River too. I'm still taking lots of pictures, and will post the updates on the website when time permits - whenever that might be. Till then...get back to work on your own project, or keep on flying if you can - We'll see you out there!
You can Google "Mobius UAS" for more public information regarding that project and keep up with the latest events and happenings.
Believe it or not, there will be more sections...someday.
