For all of the folks who could not make it to our first (annual?) Velocity Midwest Cincinnati Fly-in. This was a pretty informal little canard gathering based around Terry Miles passing through town for his cross-county trip to California. In honor of his stop we invited all of our local canard builders and fliers to Warren County Airport (our home field) for free breakfast and camaraderie. We had a pretty good turnout, with 4 Velocitys and Ray's Varieze. Here are some pictures. Linda and our staff photographer Al Wolfson will be sending high resolution pictures shortly.



Jerry, Bob and I had been working all week getting Victor Fox as close to flight status as possible, and at a minimum picture worthy. By Friday she was ready for her close-up, but thunderstorms were threatening, so Terry launched early to beat them in. We watched Flight Aware to follow his progress. Arriving.jpg



Terry touched down well ahead of the storms, happily, and we buttoned up Rocinate in Bob and Jerry's hangar and he gave us the tour of his airplane complete with Hangar 18 modifications. N821tm 1.jpg



Jousting at windmills comes to mind when you're staring headlong into a sweet Aerocomposites prop.
