Breakfast with a fellow BCPer

So I am flying along today fat dumb and happy and I look over my shoulder to clear for traffic and I see this damn Red and Black Mooney about to run me over!!!

Well actually it was an impromptu rejoin and Piperpainter showing off. :D Sorry for my crappy pics Piper next time we'll get some better ones of you. We met in Lodi, CA today for a quick breakfast. We both had other stops to make so it was short but it's always fun to hook up with other BCPers in places other than Idaho. Here's a couple more shots I got. Oh and BTW I was running 90mph IAS and about 70mph groundspeed. Doesn't even look like the Mooney is even close to hanging on the prop and he hung in right there for a couple miles. Nice job man!

That's a formation combo you don't see every day, did you see how the Mooney stuck with you during some slow flight? Oh wait, 90 mph WAS slow flight for him!

30+mph cross winds, snow, fog, and rain here, for days now. :x

What can I say I like running down those little guys! haha jk! Breakfast was great and doing a little impromtu form was fun as well. I will admit that I had to put the flaps down, otherwise I would have overrun ya! Put eventually I was able to milk them out! haha Great breakfast choice. I did a little low level over folsom on the way back to Lincoln. A great day of flying for sure!

I was going to say, he must have been damned near on the edge of stalling! :shock:

Looks like good fun.
