Florida Ridge - Day Five


The great blow-out of ’06 continues. At the 10am pilots meeting we were told to come back at 12 to see if the wind might lessen. At noon, we were told to come back at 1pm to see if the rain might stop. At 1pm the day was finally called. Some pilots are already leaving while the remaining crew is running of things to keep them busy. The Canadians were getting restless and decided to go gator hunting. Dave, Julie, and I did and responsible thing and tagged along to keep them out of trouble. ;-)

I took some pictures of the shells uncovered at a quarry near the airfield. We also came across a bird's nest that was lined with the shells.

The meet was extended another day, so Friday is now a competition day. That means a quick pack up, drive, and set up at Quest on Saturday so I can start the Flytec meet on Sunday. I might not have time to drive back down to Wallaby for the party on Saturday. Bummer.
