This one's for Gene Pascoe. His celebration of life will be Saturday,
at the EAA hangar in Willow Springs.
There are still two crocus blossoms hiding under the rubble of grass
at the airport sign, near the clump of daffodils.
The FAA King Air flew the VOR/GPS instrument approach into Mtn. Grove
today, went around on the missed approach, then flew
off back to the Dogwood VOR west of Ava. They fly the approaches
around the state periodically, checking the technical details.
I hope they were impressed with our new grass, which is greening
up more and more every day. They probably didn't even look down.
I thought I caught it with one main gear hanging out, but didn't.
That's black paint on the forward underside of the gear/engine
compartments. The gear doors are the blue farthest back part of
the nacelle. The gear retraction would have begun after throttle up
at the missed approach point, west of the runway. We are half a mile east of the
runway, so it took that long to retract. Perhaps a mile and a half to 2 miles.

Where's his nose wheel!?
He was in the process of retracting. In the next photo, there's only one main wheel showing. I'll post the pics.
