Back from Arlington, it took less than 2 hrs with a tail wind to
make the 250 mile flight up but took 14 to get back as I got
weathered in and had to spend the night in Olympia, like they say if
you have lots of time to get somewhere fly.
There were three coots there, the other two had dinosaur engines
however but next vear we may have two more rotary coots there to out
number them.
EAA management sucks as they only have two rows for RV's one row for
glass airplanes one for all other home built's and the rest of the
flight line is for war birds and classics with C-172s and Cherokee's
in it, what does EAA stand for.
To top that off they had a full section on the flight line for motor
homes when they have a huge parking lot out in BFE they could be in.
They sent me and another coot way out in the over flow in BFE so
after the ramp control shut down for the night we found two empty
slots and moved over to the home built side and this was Thursday and
it was full.
Well so much for me bitching about the EAA as all in all it was a
great show and definitely the biggest there so far.
