… and with “gear” down and locked this pair of mallards landed in close formation traveling more than thirty feet per second. They were in as tight a formation on landing as I have ever seen, but were beautifully synchronized and kept a distance of less than a foot separation from each other. I’ve seen a lot of planes take off and land in close formation, but this is in a class all by itself.
Another excellent day now nearing the end, a little sleep, a little espresso and I’ll be back at it … Mostly spent the day doing legal work, cleaning up our estate and stuff like that. A couple of walks in shorts and tee shirt, some neat shots of Iris’ in bloom and more work. Not sure why we call it work when you enjoy what you are doing. More of the same tomorrow and will likely go down and check the nice job that Gus and his crew are doing on the Lambada and pick out a striping pattern. With any kind of luck I’ll be flying it home within a couple of weeks.
Have a terrific day today and share your joy and a few smiles …
Cheers
Ted
…I yield myself to the thousand enchantments of sky and field and wood,
and play again like a child on the soft green of the earth.
And as the God of the universe has made thee to bloom in tenderness,
so also may my heart be made to bloom again.
