Group The weather here in Arizona is finally starting to cool off. This morning was about 82 degrees at 7AM. There was little traffic at the airport. I started out going to get gas, and was ready to take off at 7:45. I have made a few flights since the gathering and was ready to show off my KR. Some of you may know the plane I have was my fathers, he owned it for 18 years and never flew it. I/we rebuilt it and I had made a few eventful flights prior to Oshkosh. Upon returning from Oshkosh the needed repairs were made and several flights were made. Not enough to make the trip to Mt. Vernon. My father has yet to see the plane fly. It flew the day he bought it 20 years ago. Last night while swimming in the pool I asked him what he would be doing this morning. He stated that he would be at the RC field. The field is a remote dirt strip East of the old Williams Airforce Base. I said Great bring your Radio (hand held) and I'll call you when I'm close. Well after T/O I made the 20-minute flight to his location and called him on the radio. He had to quick land and get his radio, (all observed from the air). I made several revolutions around the field and her asked if I was going to get any lower. 1500 AGL. I made 2 passes at 150 and 100 feet one @ 150 mph and one @ 160 mph as I haven't retracted the gear yet. All I heard was WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW. ALL HE HEARD WAS YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
