Tony (xplaneguy) Visits with the Breezy Hill Flyers

On an afternoon when we were pretty much guaranteed rain and winds, a special and honored guest from California, Mr. Tony (our own "xplaneguy" here on the Forum), got to put in a visit with some of the Breezy Hill Flyers.

He was making an "Exploratory Loop" up into Missouri and Tennessee, before heading back to Mayflower, Arkansas and the Fall S.M.A.L.L. Fly-In.

Fantastically, in place of the predicted rain and wind, we were granted a near-perfect day of cool calm air, with no rain, and a layer of sun-shading clouds.

Tony had a great visit with some of the Breezy Hill's "Core Members", AND had a couple airplanes "forced" him...flying my Vintage Performance Models .049 "Nobler" control liner, and Billy Lang's venerable standby, his much-flown E-Flite Sport Cub.  He also got to experience the debut of two new Billy Lang songs, which will be posted here when I get the video crunched.

President Brian put in some flights with his Radian sailplane and his fast delta (the name of which I can't remember at the moment).  The the little Nobler also got some laps put on it by Billy, Leo, and myself...so a little bit of action on the hill!

On our way home, I played the part of a tour guide, taking Tony for a quick visit to the airport in Perryville, Missouri, through some twisty hill roads, and with a stop at Tower Rock, on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River (see link below).

It's safe to say that we had a big day, out running around my turf, and am looking forward to another visit, where I can run my mouth about more stuff!
