Went flying early this morning before the 105 deg heat here in Indy. Made my first visit to Hagerstown (I61) field, a beautifully maintained public 4000 ft grass strip. Met some nice folks there today .. one the best things about flying is the great people you meet at small airports everywhere. Now have 137 hours on the hobbs on my Corvair-powered CH650.
