Visit to Twin Lakes, SC

Today Tony and I flew up to Twin Lakes, SC (S17) a fly in community with about 30 residents to visit with some builders as part of a field trip with the local EAA chapter.   It was a fun trip with LOTS of IFR time.  The entire trip to Twin Lakes was IFR (.9 hrs) and the clouds finally opened up enough to see the runway for a quick dash to the ground.   I had planned to go to Augusta, GA for an ILS approach if I had too.

There were lots of great project being worked on here.  Quite surprising for such a small air park.  The highlight was a 7/10 scale P-51 replica.

When I saw this nose art on the wall by R. T. Foster (a fantastic artist who I met at Oshkosh through my buddy Bob Becket),

I started talking to by builder and found out

he knew Bob, and West his business partner.  We had some really good friends in common.  What a small world it is….

About 2 pm the rain finally stopped, giving Tony and I enough of a window to fly back to Charleston. 

Flew though some rain and ended up doing a instrument approach back into CHS. 

I love flying IFR.  The weather is challenging and increadiably beautiful.
