Tight patterns?

Dave, did you ever fly with Red at Waynesville?

For the uninitiated, at Waynesville, it is not uncommon to
simultaneously share the airspace with:
- skydivers
- student pilots
- gliders
- radio controlled aircraft
- transient traffic
- based aircraft

Never had the privilege; by the time I got there, he was in pretty bad
shape. His son, Emerson Jr. (Cub), owns the field, and I worked for
them for a while to pay for my training. I started my training with
Dale Byrom (who now lives in the Indianapolis area), and finished with
Emerson III (Cub's son). And are there many gliders there now? Last
time I was there, there was a 2-33 on the field, but I never saw it fly
much; most of the soaring was over at the Caesar Creek Soaring Club.
Ahh, good days; many of my fondest memories are of flying there. And
you forgot to mention that a significant portion of the students and
based aircraft were NORDO Cubs and Champs. :-)
