U.S. SCALE MASTERS 2008

SARASOTA, FL

SRQ FLYING FIELD - FRIDAY OCTOBER 10, 2008

It was Friday afternoon about 4:00 pm on the first day of the scale masters competition, I was flying a Cessna 150 and I was alone taking the shots of the field, I was using an older Kodak digital with 3.1 mega pixel. The pictures were taken at an altitude of 1000 feet. I took them with the window open on the left side. Roger Niolet, SRQ member.

The Friday evening Barbee'Q sponsored by none other than Mike Barbee.

What better way than to spend your 49th anniversary than at the field. OK, I can think of lots of better ways! I wonder how much it cost Vince Veltri to convince Jan it was a good idea?
