I saw a really nice sight yesterday, as some of my neighbors returned from TICO. The 5 Marchetti Mavericks (SF-260s) were formed in a Vee, with Gene Mc Neely in his T-6 in the slot (all nice and tight). They overflew Spruce Creek and formed echelon right. They did a beautiful fan break as they came overhead and broke to downwind for landing. Would that be Spruce Creek, as in the fly-in community? Interesting place, what with the hangars in place of garages for some of the homes, and the signs warning of taxiing aircraft on the streets. The in-laws live there (albeit they are non-flyers, except when he is behind the wheel on the highway...). Brooks |

Brooks Yup -- rumor has it that, if you have lived at Spruce Creek and die and go to heaven -- it is just a lateral transfer. Actually, we have only two combination roadway/taxiways: Cessna Blvd and Lindy Loop -- all the others are separate (either taxiway or roadway). It really keeps things simple. My hangar is separate from my garage, although it also has a driveway and garage door. I know all the people involved (one time I rode with them for a flyover) -- my neighbor across the street is one of the Mavericks and is also a national board member od the AF Assn. He is a pretty good guy ans has been very active with Wright Flight -- a program for encouraging positive leadership values in Middle School kids. |
