Well now..... did I ever drop the ball on this one, eh?  Not a single post since May, and yet I've done so much this Summer of 2012!  Let's see...

• Flew out to Ranger Creek May 12 to help clean up the strip for the summer.
• Was the Air Boss for Paine Field General Aviation Day on May 19th.
• Organized the Great Northwest Air Race III on June 16th.
• Competed in the Eagle at Apple Cup on June 22nd & 23rd.
• Was the Air Boss for the Freedom Fair Wings & Wheels on July 1st and Air Show on July 4th.
• Was Air Ops Manager for the Arlington Fly In July 11th through15th.
• Flew the Eagle to Cut Bank, Montana for the CAN-AM Aerobatic Challenge on July 27th and 28th.
• Was the SeaFair Air Boss for both the Fleet Arrival and Boeing Air Show the first week in August.
• Flew down to Lewiston with PSAAC to run the Snake River in a jet boat on August 11th.
• Was the Contest Director and a safety pilot for the Beaver State Aerobatic Contest on August 24th & 25th.
• And just completed a gig as Air Boss at the Vintage Aviation Weekend on September 1st.

And through all that continued to work on the Wolf Pitts and run my business.  >>whew!<<  No wonder I'm so tired!  But now the Wolf Pitts is back in the air with all new hoses, some new baffling and a number of overhauled components.  And I'm about to embark the be biggest adventure of the summer!

This weekend I'm doing some advanced spin training with Rich Stowell.  One of my Eagle partners convinced him to come to Seattle and do some one-on-one work with a group of us.

On the 15th I'll be heading to Ephrata for 5 days of aerobatic training, then off to Grayson County Airport in Denison, Texas for the US Nationals.  I will make it a point to update the blog during the trek there the contest, and then to Tuscon where I plan to leave the Wolf Pitts until a contest in November.

Let the fun begin!
