Shots around Whiteplains 9-28- 2008
Jim Causes in his newly painted RV going up for a flight.
Jame's 182 coming in for a landing. Nice approach.
With Bill as my safety pilot, I was able to shoot a few GPS
approaches over at Barnwell. Also gassed up, $4.94 gal.
Panel Shot. Garmin 430 has the WAAS upgrade.
This gives you vertical guidance even with GPS approaches.
On the way back to Whiteplains we found a shower to
wash off some of the bugs.

B-29 No Longer
Many of you have seen on You-Tube the R/C Model of the B-29 fly, built by Dan Stevens, and flown by Mac Hodges. Dan Stevens passed away from cancer a couple of weeks ago, and this past weekend the B-29 also came to an end due to a simple mistake of not putting in the 4 wing bolts. See video below of its last flight.
