Flying home to flat Netherlands on monday.. will miss the scenery!
I love the Netherlands. Some of the nicest people and Gouda cheese rocks. @dennisc172 if you ever want to fly south to Baden Württemburg, I will help cover gas and go flying.You may not have mountains... But you do have tulips, windmills, and other things that make NL a beautiful place as well!

Any Oliebollens?I'm really glad to be able to buy Gouda (and smoked Gouda!) in almost every grocery store around here now. Maybe that's a Wisconsin thing (we do love our cheese) but I'm guessing not.
And I can get stroopwafels relatively easily now too. World Market carries them, along with some other places. Saw them in Costco recently and bought them, but they were kinda dry. They'll never compare to getting the fresh ones at the market over there, though.
Still haven't seen any poffertjes here, though.

Turned out awesome! What do you get at max cruise?5 months unemployment, followed by losing my father, followed by advanced stage skin cancer and resultant surgeries.. I'm finally back on the upswing (both physically and mentally). It was a tough year. I determined it was a great time to get my 182 caught up - I had an autopilot install and some other work slated before all the mess. I declared "f* it" and flew from KJYO to KLAL last Saturday and brought along a good pilot friend. We were in the air at 5:45AM, one bounce in southern NC, and arrived in FL at 11:50. It felt GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
It was a cool morning (53 deg F) at KJYO, winds were 310 22g35. First hour was bumpy, but smoothed out with a strong quartering tailwind for the entire remainder of the flight. At one point (picture below) we hit a max ground speed of 174 mph. The 182 consistently carried a TAS of 155 mph at 8,500' at 11 gph.
Sunrise off my shoulder southbound.
Check the TAS and fuel burn. YES

Yep, actual is definitely different from foggles on a VFR day3.9 actual, 4.2 total. No auto-pilot, deviations, turbulence, and only one real pucker moment getting bounced around in a rainy cloud. Actual is a world of difference from foggles on a VFR day. I’m beat.

The Cherokee rotting in the sun was a sad sight.
Need a Citation? Word has it new engines are all it needs. Current owners couldn’t agree 8 years ago lol
Was this AN-2 abandoned after the right lower wing got bent.??
Was able to snap this shot of the plane- not sure which kind of plane it is though- some sort of a single engine turboprop.
