ZS-SUB, Cirrus SR-22 G2-GTS Turbo Signature Edition, one of the star visitors to a PFA Fly-in at Manchester Barton, 3rd June 2023.
I have no idea what this was doing here, or how long it took to get here, but it was a nice exotic visitor.

Front-side view of a single engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the right.
The plane is in a metallic grey livery, with a series of short, silver stripes running along the body, with yellow and red ribbons intertwined with and spinning through them.
The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the lower rear fuselage.
The cockpit door on the other side is open, hinged forwards and upwards.
The foreground is filled with short green brass, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance.
Several planes are visible in the background, mostly a bright yellow plane on the right, with various wings and tails coming in to view.
Several people wearing yellow hi-viz vests are scattered around the airfield, acting as marshallers for all the visitors.

Side view of a small, single-engined, single-seat light aircraft, parked facing to the left on grass.
The plane is mostly cream coloured, with white engine cowling and #wingtips, and the black registration "G-SJMW" on the rear fuselage.
There is a gold stripe on the forward fuselage, with a small UK flag, and the black text "SD-1 Minisport".
Strong sunlight coming from the top left of the frame is casting a strong shadow on the ground under the plane.
Green grass extends into the distance, with several light aircraft parked on both sides of the image, facing in towards the middle.
Trees in the distance meet blue sky with a slight hint of haze.

I flew into Poplar Grove's (C77) fly in today and it was a neat event. My flight was uneventful IFR until I was on the RNAV-A approach into the airport. I was just entering a broken layer at 2500' and an aircraft departed 12 and flew strait at my path. Rockford approach broke me off and I got to do the approach again. I'm not convinced that aircraft was legal, on the second approach I was circling at minimums and a lot of VFR traffic was also scud running in at 500' to the field.

Now, I have a lot of opinions on that and none of them are good but they would have been in class G airspace so as far as I know it's legal. I'd argue it's dumb as hell but also they're using 12 instead of 30 so I have to join the pattern. Now here is where I mess up. I sidestep left to join the downwind, "I'm making left traffic because I just went left" my brain said. I'm frazzled from the unexpected VFR traffic that has surprised me twice now. So I flew right traffic while making incorrect calls and I notice after I land and I'm taxing. This frazzles me further, but I taxi to park where the marshals put me. The final Marshall let's me know it's left traffic, he was polite about it. I apologized, it was my fault completely. I was letting things get to me while scraping clouds at minimums. Going missed was a real possibility but who knows where those sky cowboys were at.

I get out, start walking around. I find a restroom and when I'm washing my hands I remember I just landed at an untowered airport IFR. I didn't close my flight plan! Apparently the national clearance delivery hotline isn't a thing anymore so I eventually find a number for Chicago approach and get my plan closed. Then I sat down for a while to just let my brain settle.

My departure was a different kind of misadventure I'll elaborate on but the event it self was well run and fun. I'd recommend going if you're nearby but I wouldn't recommend coming in VFR at 500' AGL just scraping the clouds. They did eventually lift to 1500' AGL or so and then a lot more aircraft came in.

I just got back from Texas (work travel) for my EAA chapter's annual fly in at Brennand. I was minding our hangar and talking with guests the whole day. It was hot, humid, and breezy but overall a success! Then right at the end a severe storm showed up and dropped a water spout a few miles to the east. #eaa #79C #flyin #avgeek #aviation #generalAviation

My EAA Chapter had a very successful first Fly Out to Portage for their Fly In (C47). It was the busiest non-towered traffic pattern I've ever been in, with the added challenge that we were landing 36 and you really only could back taxi. So we'd pile up four aircraft at the end and taxi back in formation.

Really cool day, I'm glad some of my chapter members joined me so I didn't feel like a dork having a one man fly out. I'm sad I had to rent an aircraft but grateful I had a backup option when mine went down for maintenance.

A mostly bare aluminum Ercoupe aircraft with the distinctive H tail.

A small single seat experimental Sonex aircraft in red and white colors parked on the flight line.

I am unsure the aircraft, it looks similar to various WWII airframes and specifically the T-6. It is a dark grey with a white arrow bolt from back to front.

Arranging a virtual fly-in event for my community tomorrow, first one of its kind ^_^

Put together some pre-made flight plans to help people dropping in, though hoping people will make up their own flight plans as well. This is the easy variant of the two I made, simple route but it can still be easy to go amiss so will be fun to see what kind of adventures people will have :)
