Oct 2016 Keep those pictures coming! 5 Airports/10 Days Halloween Flying Challenge!
I love it! Dan Wilkins’Â “5 Airports in 10 Days Halloween Challenge” is motivating us to get out and fly. I know most don’t need an excuse to fly but if you’re looking for one….this is it! Dan challenged ALL pilots to fly to 5 airports, take your picture at each then email to me for posting. Hold tight, pictures below!
If you haven’t had time to get out and fly, it’s not too late. The Challenge ends Monday, October 31 – Halloween! Email your pictures to LadyTaildraggers@gmail.com. Be sure and include yourself and friends in your pictures and a description of where you are.
Here’s a few to kick things off. I’ll go first because I’m a total ham! With 3rd Class Medical reform imminent, I’m getting checked out in the Boydster’s fine looking RV7. Sorry but these gallery slideshows don’t keep photos in sequential order.
