It has been raining for two solid days, all day long, it seems. We
need the rain badly, and this is exactly the type of rain we need to
soak in and do some good. It is predicted to go on for another day,
and then be scattered for another 4 days.

After this, I believe there will be a lot of people just waiting to
go flying. Perhaps it will be busy at the area airports, again.

Hey -- if you're gonna talk about *flying*, Jim, I'm leaving...

:-)

Just kidding. Today is the start of the Antique Aircraft Association
Fly-In in Blakesburg, Iowa. This incredible non-commercial fly-in (no
Ford Motor Company, no rocket cars -- just AIRPLANES and pilots)
always features THE most unique antique aircraft in the world -- stuff
you'll never, ever see, even at Oshkosh.

We were gonna fly in today (with the Ercoupe, we've finally actually
got an honest "antique" to fly in!)

Oh brother.

Bertie. lifetime AAA memeber, BTW, fjukkkwit.
