5500’ of brand new concrete. New airport that is not open yet. No paint on the runway. I didn’t land, low approach only. Taxiways recently finished, miles of fresh concrete.

NSFW but funny
I didn’t recognize the runway because every time I fly in there I am under the hood!

Stopped at Haggerstown, Indiana last night. Gigantic beautiful 4000' grass airport. Sadly in a way no one was there. Perfect cool night light breeze and less bugs for a change. Airplane performance is coming back...what little it has. lol
I’ve always really liked the look of that Mooney of yours. That nice paint job with the three-blade scimitar really sets its off!

This reminded me to image search my tail number, and sure enough someone got me at OSH too. Mine's not nearly as good though lol:

I’ve had them pop up online as much as a year later. You’ll probably have 1 or 2 more show up

fishing trip last week with my son to Lake Of The Woods in Minnesota. 10 planes of “flying family”, howling winds, daily walleye limits, and great times. We left central Michigan and flew accross the Upper peninsula and on the way home went down and around Chicago. Great trip, great times.

Brings back memories. I learned to drive in a truck just like that one.

Trip to Michigan and back home last weekend. The way back it was the most amazingly perfect flying weather. Nice and cool and I don't think I hit a single bump.
Lake MI off the left wing
Right after descent, getting close to KAZO TRSA
Cloudy with a chance of perfect flying conditions on my way back around the lake. Should have expected that given the good omen that was on my wing during preflight.

Ha! No but it as on my list...and walk over to Navajo bridge! We just ran straight east from Grand Gulch to Page (right next to L41) and did a tear drop into KPGA, got fuel and a soda and let the dog pee...lol
Someplace in that pic of Cincinnati is my home town neighborhood
Two generations of transportation at the home Drome today.
Something that I’ve never noticed about the Ford Trimotor. The wing engines instruments are on the pylon struts. Oil temp, pressure and Tach.

somewhere over north and somewhat western Oklahoma today.
My neighborhood is to the west in that picture, not pictured. Queens gate rail yard is on the right edge of that picture.
Leaves starting to turn this last weekend in NH

Is that part of the original design or something added after the fact to make it easier for some maintenance function?
I believe it’s original. Back in the day, the Tach was mechanical and it was too hard to run the cable from the engine to a cockpit gage. The plane has been modified to use an electric tach but they left the gage there. The pilot told me he sets power with the nose engine RPM and syncs the other two by ear.

Had an employee whose mother was a test driver I believe at that track. Said hardest part was that they sometimes wanted non-stop high speed driving without a bathroom break (fuel tanks were oversized I guess) ... said her longest was 8 hours ...

For when your local brewery just won't cut it...
... There's the $100 beer + donut run to Michigan!
(and I came within about 5 seconds of flying away with the FBO keys to the courtesy car, which apparently just happened 2 days ago to them, too)
Headed outta Michigan
Just north of South Bend IN
Near KMGC (Michigan City IN)
And Chicago off the right wing.
Made good time!
