Fryeburg bound 12:40H ETA

Well the ladies are low enough to report in even with a picture from the cockpit of the Purple Archer. The plane is running cool and strong at the top of the RPM arc. They are humming along and have only used 1 quart of oil during the whole race so the engine has performed marvelously.

The team uses mylar shields and cling screen panels on the glass to shield the sun from the instruments and pilots especially early and late  in the day when the rays beat down closer to the horizon. This trip started out toasty warm in Texas and Oklahoma and then turned cool and wet in the last half of the race so all in all it has been a mixed bag weather-wise to say the least. -ed
