| Looking out of my tent at 7:00 AM I saw the breakfast crew busy making preparations to serve the hungry overnighters. |
| My 3-year old $1.00 kiddie-pool air mattress converted to a vapor barrier 15 minutes after inflating it. So much for quality products! |
| EAA Chapter 200 of Gardner, KS provided a substantial breakfast. |
| Yeah, I know it's a kids play tent but it weighs only a 3#, cost $15 and I can sleep diagonally in it. |
| This beautiful Nieuport 12 (full size) belongs to Butch Witlock |
| Bandits 12:00 level! Hey you guys, I am a "Friendly", don't strafe me!! Those are the redneck Dawn Patrol guys, they hunt/shoot at anything that moves. |
| Returning home across the Flint Hills of KS in early evening at 500' AGL is a beautiful sight. Cattle and horses grazing on lush grass, windmills churning and my little 503 Rotax engine screaming its way above it all. I love it! |
| Only 30 miles from Derby, KS I approach Lake El Dorado from the north while still at 500'. What a great way to end a exciting flying weekend! Gotta go again next year. How about you, make the trip in '08, OK? |
| AirBike Ace signing off and hoping you enjoyed this little photo snapshot tour of yet another flying adventure of mine. (650 hrs on the AB) |
 |
| Saw this little guy in the pilot's lounge, is aviation going to the dogs? |
 |
| Butch Witlock, like most pilots, couldn't talk if he lost his arms! Butch has lots of enthusiasm! |
| AirBike Ace travels light! |
