I saw a really nice sight yesterday, as some of my neighbors returned
from TICO.

The 5 Marchetti Mavericks (SF-260s) were formed in a Vee, with Gene Mc
Neely in his T-6 in the slot (all nice and tight). They overflew Spruce
Creek and formed echelon right. They did a beautiful fan break as they
came overhead and broke to downwind for landing.

Would that be Spruce Creek, as in the fly-in community? Interesting place,
what with the hangars in place of garages for some of the homes, and the
signs warning of taxiing aircraft on the streets. The in-laws live there
(albeit they are non-flyers, except when he is behind the wheel on the
highway...).
