I think these photos beg for a good caption. Come on, give it your best shot!

Maybe something like "I never fly without my Cool Power Fuel"......

"Will fly for fuel".

"Just can't get off the bottle". (You would have to see Larry fly to appreciate that one!)

Of course, in true circus style, we weren't satisfied with Larry pulling only a fuel jug. So then the guys started attaching drink cans and water bottles to the line. I was too entertained to get my camera out at that point so no pics. But let's just say it looked like the trail behind a wedding-couple's car!

At one point, all that was left was a drink can and Larry started doing very flat spins. The can would trail above the aircraft and, as it entered the wake of dead air, it would fall and hit the plane! Then it would bounce off (usually off the prop), trail back up above the plane, and repeat the process.....we WILL have a video camera next time!

Just because the Travelling Circus leaves the field for the day doesn't mean the flying is over. Oh no! The Circus almost always brings the party to a restaurant after each flying session and follows that with a parking lot huck (no matter where we are!). Sunday we visited our favorite Mexican eatery (which has been shamelessly dubbed "El Fartito"....) and gave the foamies a workout in the parking lot.

Here's Larry and Dustin doing their thing with their Insane Yaks.

Yeah, Larry looked like a cross between Hank Hill and Chris Chianelli (from the DIY RC show).
