Yesterday was Hot Dog Day at Bethany Airpark (8NK4) in western New York. I flew my SS there and Bob Bean flew his Porsche 928 there. I should have taken a photo of BB's Porsche but didn't. Maybe he will supply one to the list.
The weather was a bit threatening and I ran into a light shower going to the fly-in. On the way home there were heavy localized showers that I barely avoided.
Attached are a few photos. The red RV-4 was built by a friend who flies 747s for a living. The young fellow standing in front of my SS is a new student at a nearby airport, the future of aviation. The green Whitman Buttercup was built by Earl Luce and he won some sort of an award at Osh this year. A really nice airplane. Earls said it could qualify for light sport if the movable leading edge device was permanently extended to get the stall speed down to 45 knots. His 0-200 powered Buttercup cruises at up to 130 mph. The red and white Luscombe did a take-off, did a left crosswind and then suddlenly turned back to the airport and landed downwind and barely stopped before running out of runway. He thought he had major engine problem from the loud noise. Turns out he had left one of the seat belts out flapping against the fuselage. Check lists anyone?
