The last Antique fly-in at Evergreen
brought a gaggle of spam-cans (above) and a marvellous assortment of
rare and antique aircraft.

Chipmunk
Cessna Airmaster, billed as the most efficient airplane in the world.
Three Beechcraft Staggerwings
lined up for inspection
Too many Stearmans to count
An overcast layer over Hillsboro, just as forecast.
The artifacts in this multi panel panaorama were caused by
camera movement.
A new use for RVs - protecting Romeo from errant Champs.
These four hailed from South Dakota.
They kindly took up positions protecting Romeo from errant Champs.
Labor day Sky King flew safety pilot as I shot approaches and
a holding pattern at Salem to regain my IFR currency.
Afterwards we had lunch at the Flying M and Ron recorded the festivities.
There was an unusual headwind for landing which raided the possibility of a
sinker as the tree line is penetrated.

To get a picture out the front instead of the panel Ron had to hold
the camera at an awkward poistion. The resulting camera shake
made the landings appear a bit violent.
Scared of Champs, I coasted to parking spots at the west end of
the runway.
Note the bird crossing the runway on the second landing (9/8/02).
On this day I decided to honor the spirit of America
by living my life.
Living well is the best revenge.
