You are welcome Mike. I have sent several more photos to Mark Langford. I think he is going to post them on his website.
I had left my good camera at our campsite because of rain earlier or the threat of rain so I was using my iPhone for photos. I had filled the remaining space on my iPhone with the first start of the Zenith One Week Wonder 750 I believe it was. By the way I helped build that plane as did my wife. We each pulled one rivet in one of the wings! Our names are written beside our rivets to prove it. Heehee I met up with my wife as the Thunderbirds were doing their thing. She was heading back to camp after their performance, so I borrowed her telephone to take the photos of Colin's KR2 and other planes. After thinking about it I may now know why Colin didn't need my help. My wife's phone cover is Pink. Pink? I must be a confident male or a stupid man to be on a airport taking pictures of airplanes with a pink covered phone? Come to think of it after my visit with Colin I sat with a dignified gentleman from Australia for more than an hour watching planes depart from the convention. I also took a lot more photos with that pink phone but this is another story! Colin had a rectangular auxiliary tank built sitting in his passenger seat. There was a little electric fuel pump mounted on top of it. His map was laminated in plastic I think or at least it looked like it to me. I asked him if he had any close calls of running low on fuel while over water. That's when he pulled out his map and started pointing to little islands and such where he flew to avoid too long distances over water. He continued his story I mentioned in the last post about places he didn't go to and places he did go to. When Mark posts the pictures of his map you can see his planned route and look at where his finger is pointing to see where he ended up going instead. Most of the cities were unknown to me. I wish I would have had a voice recorder going so I could give more details but it all just happened too quickly. I was just a typical pilot talking to another pilot about his plane and a little about his trip getting there.
