Thanks for Charlie & wife Tupper for a most enjoyable event.  It was great =
to see others carrying on and further developing the ideas I started with.

The RV-4 had to be resurrected from long term storage but it still flies gr=
eat.  Burned 23 gal. at relatively low altitude on the way up (479 mi) agai=
nst a headwind that varied between 10 and 35 mph which mystifies me since t=
hat is the least fuel it=E2=80=99s ever burned under those conditions.  The=
 tail wind on the way home helped and I estimate burned only 17 =E2=80=93 1=
8 gal.  Flight back was uneventful but was forced to fly at 15,000 in order=
 to see the weather ahead since storms looked to be  building on Sunday.  D=
oesn=E2=80=99t happen that way often but the tailwind was better lower than=
 up high. I didn=E2=80=99t have WX in the cockpit which I intend to remedy =
before next long flight

Flew back with Finn but haven=E2=80=99t heard from the others yet.  Everybo=
dy back home OK?=20
