At Wings of Hope!

What a day! Left Diana and Tom's gorgeous farm and airstrip this morning (thanks for the wonderful visit!!!) and arrived at Wings of Hope headquarters minutes before a huge storm. The day was spent doing work for the race and my job, followed by a reception with some of the lovely ladies of the local 99s chapter and WoH benefactors and volunteers. Loki is in the capable hands of the wonderful mechanics and techs here, who are giving him a final checkup before the race, and I'm pleased to report good compressions on all cylinders!

I brought my coveralls to help out, but these guys are hard to keep up with. A top notch operation, truly impressive. Some pics...

    It was great meeting you at Wings of Hope. You're doing a great job raising money for them. I hope to fly with you sometime in the near future.
