December 1, 2012 - Cambridge &
RV3 |
|
The weather had looked promising all week for today's annual Holly Run
to Tangier Island. There were fifty planes lined up including our
group of 7 RVs, a CJ and T-34. However, the mid-atlantic
area woke up to fog and low overcast. The morning's forecast
said it would burn off around 9AM so I drove out to the airport. It
finally burned off at Essex around 11:30, but it never did clear at Bay
Bridge Airport, where the Holly Run was staging out of, so the Holly Run
was pretty much a bust this year.
I ended up flying to Cambridge for lunch around 1PM. Bruce in his
RV-3 and Brian in his Cherokee went also. We
met three Easton RVs there as well.
Here's a nice shot of Bruce is his new toy: the RV-3.

how tiny the RV-3 is in this picture. |

It ended up ferrying the holly down to Tangier Island. |

We had a nice lunch at Kay's, the
on-field restaurant at Cambridge Airport. A thumbs-up for their
Cheeseburgers. Here Brian and Art about to start up for the trip to
home. |

| I hadn't seen
Jim's RV before. Here I am admiring the workmanship of his airplane,
which was superb. Check out that faded-in checkboard paintjob! |

I took off with the Bruce and Bruce
and we had a little fun flying around before heading for home. |
|
 |
|
| Well, the day
didn't go as planned but at least we got some flying in. |
