- - - - - I'm tired tonight.
I hadn't flown in months because of the bad weather which has been dominant during 2009. Today I picked up my Skyhawk at Twitchell's airport, fresh from its Annual in March. During 1.5 hours I did 10 T-O & L in 10 kt crosswinds. Then I headed home to my hangar at Wiscasset. That's only 26nm or so but I stretched the flight into 1.6 hours while playing with the GNS 430W, and upon arrival at Wiscasset I did 6 more landings at the world's 3rd worst crosswind(according to AOPA's Alton Marsh) airport.
I was somewhat shocked en route home to occasionally note IAS 130mph in the Skyhawk. I'll sleep like a baby tonight but suspect the smile will still be there tomorrow.
