If You See This Plane - -

- - somewhere between Maine and Florida, take a picture of my bird and email it to me. And say "Hello" to my photo pilot who's en route, to be away for a month or so. Don't know his stopover points. He's IR and with fresh Commercial rating. (Pictures are not recent. We have NO SNOW up here.)

Looks like Gaithersburg, MD is his next stop

Thanks, James; I've been so busy I didn't think of looking at flightaware. He's going to send me memos along the way. A long trip like that should be good for the plane, as opposed to my aerial photo shoots with a lot of moderately low-level maneuvering. Plane runs/flies like one would never believe for a 44 year old. He said the recent Comm check ride day was a 4½-5 hour "trip." At one time, climbing at 1250 fpm(which I had also experienced) (Power Flow Tuned Exhaust since 2005).

That second picture at the top was first flight(post TEST flight) several years ago when the bird had four new cylinders.

Lawreston Crute I "looked" at you on Flightaware; the leg was from Trenton NJ to Gaithersberg MD. How's my bird flying? glasses emoticon

Here's a shot he did "on the way through" at 600 MSL.
Gee; and I didn't even find time to wax the underside of the wing this year.

So the Maine bird gets a warm Christmas holiday in Florida. Sweet deal!

 

[Lawreston]

The extended flights should be good for it, ya think?
