I had a strange day in the Cub.
Obviously fooling around while taxiing, then had carb ice at least twice. I had to put the carb heat on every 15 minutes to keep from freezing up.
And the visibility: It didn't matter what direction you turned, forward visibility was bad, but down and to the sides it was 5+ miles. Totally still air and no bumps at all
I really good day.

Goofing around today with new G-meter. I call this a kinda-sorta-half-barrel-roll-wingover thingy. Trying to convince myself the little VW, single magneto, no starter engine won't quit when I pull to vertical.
So serious...

Does going negative "G"s affect it at all?

I've gone -1.0 for a few seconds, no problem. Its a Zenith carb, and I use an electric boost pump. But, VWs motors are known to not windmill if the engine quits inflight. So, I'm being very cautious as I experiment with anything more than rolls.
I've got a few hours of aerobatic instruction. But, that was all in fuel injected, constant speed prop stuff.
Flew GA for the first time in about a month a half. Picked up the owner’s wife. Even though it was about 90 degrees it was very clear and no haze. FRG-ACY-FRG

That is a rough runway for paved. A lot of bouncing during that fast taxi.

Last year I botched a landing.
Yeah, I did.
Anyway, my youngest son, Royce wrote a short piece of music for me, and I think it fits just fine

Took these two on my flight today! Went to KOQU( Quonset Rhode Island) and much to my surprise when I landed I saw what looked like Air Force 1! I asked the tower if it was( sort of knew it was not) and they confirmed it was not. Are there a few versions of Air Force 1’s?

Air Force One is whatever plane the president is on at the time. If he was on that plane it would have been Air Force One.

Yes I realized that after a bit more research on my part. It looks like it could be a great experience to fly in to see for people around the area. Quonset is a great airport with possibly the most scenic approach to all runways( it’s built right on the water with bridges and boats and lots of other things!) in the Northeast and very friendly ATC!

Executive One is the call sign designated[1] for any United States civil aircraft when the President of the United States is on board. Typically, the President flies in military aircraft that are under the command of the Presidential Airlift Group, which include Air Force One, Marine One, Navy One, and others.

Did you speak to the 90+ year old guy running the place? Really nice guy. He told me not to come back until I get my IFR

Ahh ole OQA! We reopened that tower in Jan '82 during the air traffic controllers strike after Reagan fired 11,000 plus FAA controllers. I think we (my USAF unit) operated the tower for 2 1/2 year or so.

If that photo hasn't been doctored in any way that's some heavy rain in the middle there. Kinda weird looking there at the base where it fans out though.

Making landfall crossing from Victoria Island back into the US this past Sunday.
Saw a bird show while on Victoria Island. This owl really didn’t want to participate in the flying much. She flew in and landed right in front of us and was very unwilling to leave. Seemed to want to just hang out and watch the show. Pretty neat.
This was pretty cool also. Got to fly a Harris Hawk.
