The first beautiful day in awhile where my allergies werent killing me and I went to fly! I flew down to a fly-in a friend was having at Cannon field (a grass strip) and BS'd and had BBQ. Here's a picture of my plane in the petting zoo
After lunch they had a flour bombing contest, and I figured my expertise in AH Dive bombing would do me well, so I asked my buddy Jordan if he would sit right seat and I would drop the flour. They gave us a deck of 200', which would mean we would have to level bomb! The first drop was several hundred feet short, but I told Jordan that I got my bearings and was going to hit it on the money next pass around. (They only give us two flour bags) Jordan lined up and I had him make small corrections, and I dropped......SPLAT! 30' short of the barrel, and the closest anyone got of the day. I was the only person who was dropping short, everyone else dropped WAYYY long.
After the flour bombing we flew back to Boerne in formation which was neat. I've done formation before, but always with an airplane slower than mine. We had a happy medium of about 125 knots so he wasnt in slow flight, but that was about as fast as the ol' skyhawk will go. It was neat calling up San Antonio approach as a "Flight of two".I got the camera app on my iphone going and pointed it backwards towards where Jordan was and it took some good pictures.
After we left San Antonios airspace, Jordan put a little bit of distance between us and rolled inverted...because.....becaus
e.....this is America.
What a great day!
