Hi Gang:
My EAA Chap 822 had a little get together this morning at Wetumpka Airport.
Included was a cook out, bomb drop and spot landing contest.
Wind was howling this morning, 15 gusting to 25 mph. Haven't seen wind like
that since I was out West this Spring.
We used the north/south grass strip and the wind was coming right out of the
north. Prize for first place in the spot landing contest was 10 gals 100LL.
When it was all over I was handed $55.00 cash money. That will get me about
15 gals of 93 octane auto fuel for my flight to the Nauga Fly Around in a
couple weeks. Thought I was practicing for the wet run after lunch. Had no
idea it was the real thing. Easy to win that kind of stuff in a MKIII.
Could almost hover in that wind.

Many years ago our EAA chapter used to do stuff like that. Lots of fun. Now all they do is fly Young Eagles. That was OK for the first 10 years... sigh. Which is why I'm no longer a member.

RP/Gang:
Been a member of Chap 822 for 27 years.
Today was a red letter day. Of the nearly 100 folks at the feed, there were
4 airplanes flying. It was windy, 15 with gusts to 25 mph. But, had it
been a dead calm day, we may have had 8 airplanes out there flying and
having fun and friendly competition. The nature of the chapter. Most of
the members fly store bought GA type airplanes, pay hanger rent, annuals,
BFR's, and let their spam cans collect dust. I think they are more status
symbols than flying/fun machines.
I keep hanging in there. If I quit, there is no way I can help get the
chapter cranked up, even a little bit.
