Today was a better day than I'd thought it would be when I got up. Weather
was worth going to the airport for so I pitched up there and then flew down
to another little airport to have lunch with a mate of mine. He didn't show
so I fell into conversation with a guy I'd met there last weekend. He and
his buddy were flying their airplanes to another field for lunch and, since
they were both flying empty four-seaters, I blagged a ride. Hadn't planned
on it, just did it spur of the moment. Great fun. One of the airplanes was
a classic Cessna 165 Airmaster and, since I'm a vintage taildragger pilot by
calling, that was just great. I flew down for lunch with him in that one
and back with his mate in his airplane.

His mate flies a Staggerwing.

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!! Pure vintage luxury, that is!

Those are both going into the logbook, even if all I had was about 2 minutes
stick time. :-)

Sometimes life just hands you a freebie. Just thought I'd share that with
you all because I know there're one or two people here who'd appreciate it.
