Good morning to all-
so this morning about 7:00 or so, I grabbed up a little microwarbird- the P-51, to be sur, and walked myself down to the flying field. this is a 30 acre or so hayfield with a paved road running along one side of it- a good enough landing runway for my little planes.
As I approached the field I looked off to the west where there is a small little patch of woods, and there's a tall old dead pine tree which tops over all the other trees. And on this day in the top of this pine tree sat another flier- and this flier is very, very good. A mature bald eagle watched me as I approached the usual take-off patch of road. There was no way I was going to fly in the presence of this master, so I just stood and watched the big bird watch me. We looked at each other for a about five minutes, and then the real master of the air took off and flew away. Folks, when i can fly my little planes as well as that birds flies, i will be very good indeed.
Then I put my little red-tailed plane on the pavement, took off, and had a fun ten minutes or so cavorting around the field. and then I did a base approach and final turn and brought the little plane in for a perfect, not even a bump- landing.
And that was how I spent my early morning. A good use of my time, I'd say.
you all be safe and keep well- Ed

Correct me if I’m wrong
