Denny Zech and I flew here in Fort Wayne today. Beautiful conditions for dialing in my new Sharon Pro X tail and an old 2M Duck that I bought last fall. Our LOFT season opener starts tomorrow with another wonderful weather forecast. Both of my planes and Denny's Pelican are all dialed in. Now I need to work on me. The Good Lord knows, I love soaring.
