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.

haha. I'm definitely motivated to lose some weight so I can get in/out. It's very crammed. being tall doesn't help either.

EAA chapter meeting tonight; we toured Midwest Aero Restoration's shop at DNV. The BF-109 they won best in show at OSH with is still there, as well as the pictured Mustang in progress, and another project they asked us not to take pictures of....

"Dallas Doll", the P51 they won best in show with this year, just recently went home with her owner. If you're ever in the neighborhood, go in the FBO and ask to look in the shop. Considering they are one of the premier restoration shops in the country, they are remarkably approachable and happy to give shop tours. It's really fun to see these birds blown apart and see how they are built.

Working on two things today: collecting FlyMN passport stamps and knocking out my long solo commercial cross country... at 70 knots.

I was going to pitch my tent at some grass strip in Iowa and fly home tomorrow, but a super rough mag check revealed two badly fouled plugs when I stopped for fuel in Faribault, MN. Local hangar tenant helped me out big time, but the resulting delay meant I ran out of daylight and had to bed down in Prairie Du Chien, WI. You can definitely divert to worse places than the Driftless Region!

Past 2 weeks have been super busy flying. Lots of 3-5 am departures. Have flown to Alabama, FL, WV, OH, IN, IL, GA, MN, MI. 1000s of miles.
Fri I flew from IL to MN to Destin, FL to IL. 11 hrs in one days. I'm loving it.

My recent Flight Review in my Ercoupe. Selfie taken by my CFI.

I was furiously googling the pronunciation so I wouldn't make an ass of myself on CTAF. Home safe with another 12.6 hours in the logbook and 15 new stamps in the FlyMN passport book, but who's counting?

MAAAK KOOO KETA?

I think my first call was "mach-whoa-kay-tuh," and then I switched to "mah-cuh-keh-tuh." I asked the guy working in their shop and I still have no idea after hearing him pronounce it.

No problem with Edina, Wayzata, Mankato, Isanti, Edina, Bde Maka Ska, Mahtomedi, or Ely.

How about Waseca? I think it's supposed to be "Mah-Coke-It-Ta", with the last "t" slightly elided to a duller sound close to a "d" instead, but I haven't lived there, so take it with a grain of salt!

Waseca is a layup.

Looks like the Iowans are selling merch.
