March 27, 2004 Practice

Three acro airplanes (and one Flybaby) showed up at Tara Field for practice.  Gordon Clement flew his Bucher Jungmann and received some great critiquing by Marty Flournoy.  Marty got a couple of cracks at the box, and Johnny Cargill gave it a go after a couple of years away from the sport.  Everybody had fun.

 

Gordon Clement's Bucher

Johnny Cargill came down in this S2A.

Turns out that many years ago these two airplanes did an airshow routine linked with an eight-foot chain. (Formation, of course.)

Marty checks out Gordon's Bucher.

Airplane has been rebuilt several times... good German engineering, though.

It's like an ant trail to the fuel

Fouled plugs were a problem.

A huge group of folks had a birthday party there.

Johnny waits for Marty to get back into the box.
