Today was a fantastic day to be a pilot. As a part of Pilotsnpaws.org, Christine and I flew down to Taylor County Airport in Kentucky. We picked up 9 puppies that would have been euthanized. They will have a fresh new start in Appleton, Wisconsin. With the help of Susan in Kentucky, Rhonda from Gary, Chris from Milwaukee, and Mary from Appleton, we saved some fantastic little puppies today. Christine did a great job taking photos. Here they are:

Paoli Fly-In
Coby and I went for a little trip down to Paoli for the Aviation Awareness Day. It included free food for any fly-in pilots and some chatting with the locals. We saw a YAK-52 on the field. That plane is sweet, even though it is Russian. I've attached a photo below.
Things like that make me want to get the opportunity to get to fly a couple of Warbirds. Or at least fly in a warbird, even if I'm not the pilot. Anyway, the people there were nice, we showed up and got our hand stamped showing that we had flown in. I walked up to the food table and asked what we were able to get as pilots, and she said we could get what ever we wanted. I got a burger and some chili and Coby got a burger and a hotdog. It was pretty fantastic. After eating we checked out the other aircraft that had flown in. As I walked out of the hanger a guy stopped me and asked if I was the pilot of N146K. He said that he dinged by plane with his, N9421D. Immediately I noticed that this was another Sky-Vu plane and realized he was joking. It was not my favorite joke, but I chuckled.
On the way back home we took the scenic route home over to Greensburg to check out the Tree growing in the courthouse window. From there we headed back to Eagle Creek.
