A sucky thing sucking less

[shrike]

I've spent much of the morning on the roof laying down a coat of bright reflective white emulsion sealant. I know it's working because it's getting hotter on that part of the roof, and thus cooler inside. I have to put another coat on here in the early afternoon. Joy.

That's the sucky part.

The less sucky part is the B-17G (sentimental Journey) that has been using the bright white square of my roof as a landmark for turning base all day. Gear out , notch of flaps, rumblerumble.

Living close to the airport is nice, for more than just a real short commute to work.

Supposed to have another B-17, B-24, P-51C and a couple of B-25's coming through on Monday too.

Paint black letters on your roof... 'FREE BEER' and maybe you can get even closer pictures. =)
