I made at about 5:00 or so on Saturday. Probably the flight immediately
before yours.

If you click on the picture, it'll expand to a screen filling size. If
you're *really* interested, send me a note outside the newsgroup and I'll
send you 3 or 4 of the best pic's. Note, the files are 3-4 mp...

OMG, Kyle!

This is just too good! Thanks a mil, and *yes* I'm really interested.

I read your text, and get this...First, our flight was late Sunday.
Saturday I was at Red Top making charcoal (big fire, sealed 55 gal
drums, etc) to fuel our iron bloomery for the upcoming Hills of Iron
event. All day I watched Liberty pass by in the near distance and return
at fairly regular intervals. Eye and ear candy all day long.

Later in the afternoon (and I'm trying to remember this carefully)
Liberty was chugging along not far south of my position (about 1/4-3/8
mile SE of Bethany Bridge), headed back to McCollum apparently,
northwest of Acworth and I heard a second, smaller plane behind her and
closer to my position. I looked and saw the smaller plane approaching
her quickly from behind and thought how cool to be a ga pilot and spot
that baby on a Saturday cruise. The smaller plane approached from the
NW say, and swung behind her and to my memory made a *tight* right turn.
One of them thar Acarobatic airyplanes, I thought to myself. I may have
watched a bit longer, I'm not sure. Wish I could remember more...

Hm! Betcha that was you! Way too cool!

FIL will love the pic!

Yep, that was me. Seems like this internet thing has reduced the "7 degrees
of separation" in life to about 2.5 degrees of separation.
