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.

Meant to include this caption in the previous message. " Looks like this years Kentucky Lake M.C., Karen Reed, has the Lee Walton wave down. Good job Karen.

Lee, we are sorry you couldn't make it this year and we all missed you, however, Karen did an excellent job filling in for you.
