Brkfst flight in "a Champ on steroids"- part 2
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:37 amOn short final at Janesville, with a slight quartering headwind from the right. It was a nice day for flying: cold, sunny, and pretty smooth up there.
Landing a bit long to save time and trouble taxiing...
A nice collection of airplanes parked outside the restaurant, including another fine American Champion product (8GCBC) and a really spiffy C-120. I was hoping to fly a 120 today, but Bob was booked up with students. Might get to do that next Saturday, we'll see.
After a leisurely late breakfast and a nice chat, it was time to vamoose... we quickly exited the class D and then it was time for me to take the helm again for the leg back to C77. I didn't mind that at all.
A very proud owner... Buzz actaully apologized that the plane was "filthy"... said his wife (who likes to ride along and follow their progress on the sectional while he flies) would kill him if she knew he'd taken it out in such a state... LOL!! I thought it was one of the cleanest airplanes I'd ever seen.
Thanks, Buzz!
