Dan and I landed at Greene County Airport last night at 10:00. GCY is about 5 miles from my airpark but we do not have runway lights at the airpark. We refueled in Bowling Green KY. It was getting dark by the time we took off and we checked the position lights but had a little problem in that my instrument lights were not working but I had a small LED light that clips on a hat bill and we used it to illuminate the instrument. At 7500 we were VFR but on instruments because of the very dark moonless nights. We flew over a cloud layer for about 12 hours, really only about 20 minutes but we were sure glad to see the lights as we got nearer to East Tennessee. We also landed without a landing light at GCY, not one of my best landings but the airplane was still flyable. It was a good gathering but I was flying so much that I didn't get much interaction with the people and the KRs. I did enjoy flying with everyone and look forward to next year. Dan will probably never fly with me again after our night fright, ah night flight. Hope everyone made it home safely.
