WV leg to Frederick - End in Sight

Here is a recap of the 6/25/10 9AM Eastern airport gathering in West Virginia. All the racers that stayed over greeted each other before the final push. There was a little tri pacer there to remind us of Roy Clark's plane that sadly could not make the long haul. The trip along the way did not have as much tailwind to Frederick but navigating lower was better today with more visibility than the previous night. Crew saw a powerplant along the way and turned for final at just before 11:00AM Eastern. Once they landed they were greeted by a line guy to guide them in to their grass parking space. The ladies were excited and took some snaps of themselves in their pink Wings of Hope jumpsuits. More pix soon.
