Thanks for the detailed write-up, I had a good time, it was a great day
to fly and it was lots of fun putting names with faces.

My trip home was amusing, I flew over a co-workers house who has been
out on disability and took some pictures of his house and some video and
sent those on to him when I got home.

Interesting arrival at Bridgeport, the Corsairs were still doing their
demo flights so the airspace was closed to arrivals. I chose to hang
out near the Sikorsky helicopter factory but above their airspace until
it opened up. I took the opportunity to burn the 10 minute wait with
MCA turns with full flaps. After they started letting us come in for
landing I cleaned up the plane and scooted over towards the coast and
called in for a 5 mile final for R24. They had us stacked up pretty
deep so I did my best airline approach to the runway and slowed down
about 1/2 mile from the threshold.

All in all a good flying day!
