Thanks,  Bob.  It was a very warm day here in the south. :-)

On a very hot day, the airport can come alive in the cool of the late
afternoon.  I walked around, talked to a few people, and snapped some
photos.  Because of the warmth of the late sun, I did not try to achieve a
"proper" white balance.  It is what it is.

The Bombardier BD100 presented a warm sundown image.

Because I neglected the King Air 300 on my last visit, I walked out and
got a shot.

I spied Larry Wilhite pulling the RV7A, which he built himself, out to the
compass rose to adjust the compass.

Then I spotted the modified Piper J-5 returning from an 8-hour day towing
a banner above Bonnaroo.

The J-5 is beefed up, has 46 gal of fuel, and the wing top surface is
fitted with vortex generators to enhance performance in slow flight.  On
the front is a Lycoming O-360, delivering 180 hp, twice what it originally
had.  An oil cooler is installed on the landing gear to provide cooling,
which the pilot said is so effective it has to be taped up in the winter
months.

Finally, a look at the power plant itself.  It flies with no additional
cowling, and the aircraft is in the Experimental Category.

All with the X-E1 and the Fujinon 27/2.8 Pancake.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
