It was nice of them to park both of my planes next to each other.

Nice submarine!
Had to give way to this puny aircraft. Memphis ground had their priorities off.

Pre-takeoff checklist
Flew 8 hrs past few days. Weather was finally good around my area.
Visited Lambert Cafe (home of the throwed rolls". Then another trip to Branson. Branson was amazing to fly to/from. Flight took 2 hrs to Branson. Ordered 2 philly steak sandwiches which took 1 hr 45 mins to make. I thought I was slow till I met the kid making the sandwiches. Just sat there watching the jets roll in/out.

I'm pretty impressed w/the whole setup. Propane grill there w/propane ( with an extra full bottle ), firewood ricked up for the fireplace. My wife actually approved the restroom facilities <gasp>.

Right after that they made a 767 wait for me. I felt so special.Lol. Not me... I was off that day.
And... that plane has one too many engines for me these days.

The Little Arrow That Could
From Chicago to Midland TX in 1 day (just over 1100nm for my path). Quite a journey in the arrow. Fort Worth center was extraordinarily helpful in giving vectors around any potential weather issues, I don't know how they do it. They're on the radio non-stop, more than any other airspace I've been to.
Tomorrow I continue on to Phoenix (if weather gods allow it).
But overall a great flying day. Ate a little turbulence in Arkansas, but smooth sailing after that!
This cloud seemed to stretch for a billion miles.
Coming in to land at Abilene for gas.
Edit: only place I've ever heard that politely asks you on ATIS to make sure you don't accidentally land on a taxiway is KABI. Gotta be some stories behind that ..

Touchdown! Greaser!
It will be bumpy going through NM. I think there is some sort of law requiring NM air to be a rough ride in summer.
But we haven't had a thunderstorm in the Gallup area for a week now.!!

Went searching for one of the last remaining tri-color VASIs and unless it was hiding, it's gone. 1C1

Phoenix to El Paso. Stop for gas and then planned to move along.
Edit: after standing on the ramp for a bit and looking at the mountains I decided I'd stay a day. Take off tomorrow!
Short final 26R at KELP
Coming in from the west at 7500' to KELP.

The last time that I had that view (short final 26R) I was busy demonstrating the maximum demonstrated crosswind for a T-1. T'was a tad breezy, but I'd do it again.Phoenix to El Paso. Stop for gas and then planned to move along.

All the KSDL jet owners fought to be parked closest to the Arrow...
(quite possibly the first jet-centric FBO I've been to that didn't relegate the arrow to a spot adjacent to derelict fuel trucks...)

I was actually a little concerned because the wind definitely favored 22 that day, but all the commercial traffic was using that. But went off without a hitch, cool spot to fly!
The one and only time I flew on Southwest Airlines, the 737 scraped the right wingtip on that landing.

We should do a Midwest fly out to BQ1
It's a hike. Did 10 hours today. Kinda tired.
These Marines did the overhead break at KILM after I landed.

First cross country trip in the Comanche. Sure was nice moving at 150 kts. Lost most of the time savings because I slowed down to 100 to put the gears down 30 miles out, just to be sure they come down haha.
@RDUPilot invited me to join you guys today but with 10 hours of flying, couldn't fit lunch in.
