Ejection Handle Pulled
so...
It was a beautiful weekend to fly in SEMO. Calm winds, nice temps, clear skies (until about 2pm today). I took full advantage.
Flew south yesterday.
Today I flew low and slow up the river to my hometown (Ste. Genevieve, MO). Love this little grass strip. Here it is on Google earth (yellow). That's the Mississippi on the right.
And here's some crappy video of landing and taking off. No go pro...just my phone sitting on the glareshields...sorry about the "prop lines". Good thing that truck decided to stop when I was on short final. He woulda screwed up a perfect power off approach! I bumped the throttle, was ready to go around, but he saw me and stopped about 50'...60' short of the runway CL. I waved as I crossed the road about 6' AGL.
