Thanks, Chris. I often can't find a Tullahoma weather report on a
Nashville weather site.
It was in the high 80s (F) when I left the house around noon. I seem to
recall that it eased into the 90s, but the humidity was a little lower
today, and there was a breeze.

The weather looks great, Jim. What sort of temperatures are you experiencing? I
can’t find any mention of Tullahoma on the BBC weather site, strangely.

The temperature was a little more tolerable at the airport today. A departing
Piper 6-seater was the first activity, and joined the clouds quickly.

After a break for lunch, the Twin Otter that carries sky divers took off with a
load of jumpers and climbed rapidly. I haven't timed him, but it takes
approximately 15 minutes to get to 15,000 ft.

The tandem jumpers descend a little more gently than the singles, so are easier
to photograph. Here is a bright blue canopy, a multi-color, and a red and
white.

And, as I started to leave, I noticed a home-built "Baby Ace" airplane having
its fuel system calibrated at the fuel pump.
