Entertaining the POW's

Looks like my friend Mike was playing around, but really he's warming up his 582 Buckeye Dream Machine. The field we were using was beautiful (better grass than my front yard).  It was inside an dirt oval horse track.  Steve had asked the grounds people to mow a strip for us. Turned out that the wind wasn't from that direction, and the un-mowed grass wasn't tall enough to be a problem.  Nice open field.  Steve and I even did a tandem takeoff when the busses got nearby.
