That's cool that you wound up flying that plane. Did you seek it out or just happen to remember the tail number? I completely forgot about that story.

I did a thing…

There was absolutely zero pre-planning because I’m an agent of chaos and that’s how I roll… I had no idea this was the plane until we were putting it away and the CFI casually mentioned it.

not during the flight

Saw a Cirrus Jet nesting with her adopted litter of cobra chickens today.

I was given these old geodetic wood wings after a friend's father learned I had purchased a Fisher. They had been sitting in his barn's hayloft for years, so it took quite a bit of cleaning to get them ready for display. Rigging them from the hangar ceiling without a helper was a pretty tedious endeavor, and by the time I had finished yesterday evening I was more than ready for a quick sunset cruise. Sans bomber jacket, due to the stifling heat and humidity.

Added New York and Maine to my landing list this weekend. Saw some nature along the way.

Ah, so those boomerang thingies on older steam gauge Mooneys are smokestacks. Who knew?

Overpressure relief valve vent for the steam gauges.

Sometimes everything just comes together...love flying in the evening and at night. So peaceful.

 

[whitepines]

This is why we watch our altitudes on approach...stratogenerator clouds are no fun

Quick trip to Niagara Falls

Great pic! I want to do this some time. Is this taken while you were in R-518? Any tips for the trip?

 

[NealRomeoGolf]

Can you spot Osh in the haze? That's the closest I've been to the big event before. Some day.

 

[ktup-flyer]

Made it back home from Oshkosh at 12:30 this morning. Lots of deviating around storms, but not too bad

That's a very fast camera drone you have, flying in close formation with it must require skill

 

[whitepines]

Back safely from Oshkosh! Dodging storms on the way back...onboard radar got a workout.

1st time at the flight levels. Almost felt like that 1st solo. It's corny but I had been waiting for this day when I set that 29.92 for the 1st time.
Busiest week for me ever. 30 hrs at my day job then logged 29.6 hrs of flying 4 different birds.

I still remember my first time up there. Drinking from the fire hose with my instructor at 220KTAS up past FL200, first flight in the C414A, got my hand slapped for preferring to disengage the A/P in favor of hand flying. Gets a bit twitchy up there...thin air and all. Now after a lot more time in the flight levels I really appreciate the anti-fatigue effects of the A/P. Fun times, enjoy them!

I can appreciate that. ha
I am getting ready to fly a C177B from S CA to S IL with a friend of mine. No A/P in that thing. It should be fun.

My friends visited OSH and brought me back a sweet t-shirt ( the stripes are planes ). Matching hat too ( not pictured ).

If you can, post details and pics of your travels! That's a great flight.

Passed my IR checkride a week ago, and took my first solo flight into IMC yesterday morning, a short round robin flight from KSTC to KPEX.

link to full video??

 

[ColinD]

Ya know, I had the GoPro running just to capture the moments I punched in and broke out. I went to snip those moments out of the footage and laughed at how boring an IMC flight video is.

Officially signed off on and insured in the M350. That was fun. I'm going to hate flying my C150 from now on.

OMG... what torture to have to cram yourself over the spar and into that Devil's cockpit. Oh the humanity!!! I would sacrifice myself so you didn't have to endure the torture. So many haters of that airframe and misinformation abounding. I'm jealous.
