Pictures from 6/20

Didn't have a chance to upload these before. Please be sure to read Alison's posts either before or after viewing the pictures. These are photos of our day in Goodland, Kansas waiting for the weather ahead to clear.

They have a giant Van Gogh replica painting in town!


Our baby birds from Liberty University....still smiling...that's a good sign!


 The racers huddled around a cell phone listening to a weather briefing update from our friend Dale


On this day the racers gave up their individual team shirts and became one unified team...Butterfly Aviation


The Eastern PA teams modeling their Butterfly Aviation t-shirts in front of a beautiful Cessna 195


Alice, the stop chair at Goodland was absolutely fabulous...as were all the folks who shuttled us to the hotels and to dinner. Special shout out to "Levi's gramma....Karen"


The timers hung out with nothing to do most of the day. A few planes left late in the day and made it to Nebraska.


Our plane had a small problem. We blew out a seal in the front strut...it was ready to blow on its own but a few hard landings in high winds sure didn't help it.


But have no fear....it was Levi to the rescue.


He fixed out strut and we were ready to fly...now only if the weather would cooperate.



While killing time we went to lunch at the Butterfly cafe.


Someone lost a donkey. We don't see too many of these signs in Philadelphia.


On our way back from lunch....and to think, they didn't even have any alcohol!


Here is what was keeping us in Goodland all day....Thunderstorms along our route.


Lots of people (not just our baby birds) took the time to catch up on some sleep.


......or to play some cards.....
