I too am back home safe and sound. The wings are already unloaded and in the hangar.

I want to thank all who attended. You all took the newbie that I am and made me feel welcome and at home.

Getting several rides and the formation flying which is all new to me was one HECK of a lot of fun!!!

Is there directions as to how to download or attach pics to the forum. I have some that may prove interesting. I also have a couple brief videos of formation flying. I will say however that I am not a photographer and the video is raw and unedited.

Thanks Lee.
The Kentucky Lake gathering was rather small this year, but a great time was had by all. Now, let's see if I can successfully download some photo's the fun.

What a great weekend to spend with aviation friends and the greatest homebuilt ever designed. I love coming to Ky Dam during this part of the year. I want to thank David and Richard for giving me rides in their aircraft. It gives me a boost in my drive to get my T-18 finished. Thanks everyone for this great fall weekend.
