1. Early morning service by Dan Cook at 6.30 Main subject 'Getting Lost'; on the screen all the time the soothing picture of his yellow supercub.
2. Great breakfast: pancakes, coffee, sausages, eggdrink, whatever!

4. I talk with Rob, biological farmer who lives nearby. We want to stir our coffee, no spoon. He uses his knife and hands it to me. Closes it, puts it back on his belt. Ten minutes later, more coffee, nothing to stir with. I tell him I need to buy a knife myself if I continue travelling. He says:'Here is your knife, don't have to buy it, take mine!' One minute it takes me to accept his offer with so many thanks! Thank you Rob, this made my day special.
I talk to Barbara Carlson, Jeffs mother, who started this fly in 40 years ago with his father. I meet many happy J3 owners, and the guy who so brilliantly restored a Vagabond. 632 persons were counted at this Fly In, isn't that amazing? It's too much to tell here.
So have a look for yourself, watch the planes that were here in Ashville NY, and look at the pictures of a happy crowd, enjoying this aircraft little heaven.
This are the planes:
Now I am back with Rick and Margie Papp in Ohio. Tomorrow I will fly from Pittsburg (jetwise ...) to Greenbay, Wisconsin. Tonight I will rest with a new friend who lives in my bedroom.
