Surprisingly, it appears that I have not. There were plenty of pictures of her on the ground during her arrival on Tuesday, panoramas of her on the ramp, a video of her engine warm up, and lots of pictures of our P-51 in various stages of repair and test flights.
Tonight, being sunburned, exhausted, sore, and at the end of about a dozen days in a row that were ten to sixteen hours long, I’m just going to leave these here for you to drool over.
Returning from a flight, performing a low flight over the runway.
Breaking left into the landing pattern.
On the downwind leg, starting to lower the gear.
On short final, gear down, lined up on the numbers.
In the distance you see some nice houses in Camarillo – have I mentioned how nice one of those would be, with a comfy back porch and a big pair of binoculars to watch the planes land?
Touchdown!
If it seems that my life consists of little other than CAF-related items for the last two weeks, well, that’s because my life has been about 95%+ focused on CAF-related items for the last two weeks.
One more day of CAF news and “Fifi”, and I hope tomorrow will be the best of all.
As for the other 5% of my life in the last two weeks? With luck there will be some really big, really good news there as well. Hope. Hope. Hope…
