George is at the AP at 8 sharp and caughts up still napping. We go to breakfast and Roy soon arrives via car. Minutes after we are back at the AP, Larry and Brian arrive with trailer in tow. We are soon out to Lawrences plane and begin the disassembly for transport back to Lethbridge. The guys will be my ground support as we all soon begin the 3 hour journey home.
We departed Maple Creek at 10 minutes to two. It was nice to have ground support on this last leg of the journey home. I followed #1 highway most of the way out of Sask. , flew south of the Medicine Hat zone and headed for the planned stop for refueling in Bow Island. I landed in Bow Island about 2 hours later and soon Larry, Brian and Lawrence arrived with the additional 25 litres of fuel for the remaining one hour to my home strip at Rednek Air by Coaldale.
As I departed Bow Island however my engine started to cough for the first time on the trip. Twelve minutes later I was back on the taxi way changing the spark plugs that had been now become fouled from the 100 low lead fuel. After the change I was underway and headed home.
I arrived at Rednek strip with Lauretta eagerly awaiting my return. I landed at the strip at 5:36 and was glad to be back home. Larry, Brian and Lawrence were on #3 highway as I landed and they continued on to Lethbridge and offloaded Lawrence's plane.
Marty / Lawrence
