El Dorado, Ar.

I looked at the radar weather before we left on Friday and it showed rain from here to about Alexandria, La. That turned out to be correct. On Saturday the turnout was below average as floods in Texas kept many from attending. The atmosphere was the strangest anyone had ever seen. It is blamed on a pancake landing of one plane half way through the pattern. A $50.00 propeller was ruined to make things worse. I brought both Wild Thing planes, the L-17 Navion for warbird and the newest Pixie Bob.I flew the newest Wild Thing in profile and got a 2nd place finish. I flew the L-17 in warbird and got the win. Mainly because the other guy hit the ground before finishing the pattern. Sunday was rained out so we came home early. We drove in rain all the way to Alexandria again before it cleared up. It was an enjoyable trip just the same.
