Where are you flying today? :dunno:

Flyin breakfast?

Cruise around the patch?

Go see a buddies new plane?

Get out there and fly!

Tell us where you went!
 
Thursday I flew to Sioux Falls, SD to look at an RV-8. I know the builder, but the new owner has let it fall into disrepair. Sad really, it was a show stopper at one time.

Tuesday, I fly to CO to look at 2 others, then to south TX to look at 2 more. Should have one bought by Friday.:D
 
Flew up/down the STL riverfront yesterday at 1000' AGL. Sprinkled "good luck fairy dust" on Busch Stadium. It worked!

Then had a nice lunch at Spinners (formerly Oliver's) on the field at KCPS.

Nice day to fly in eastern Mo.
 
I am heading out for a meetup with an aviation group for lunch at Norwood MA. Following a decent lunch, I am taking another lesson in the Schweizer. Working on perfecting autorotaions including 180s. Still a little anxious about falling out of the sky at 1,500fpm when we start at 600'.
 
Good luck finding the right one, I miss having one, You will really enjoy flying the centerline.
 
Young Eagles in the Luscombe this morning. Got to go.

Plan a fuel stop or lay over at F05 and I'll feed you a good steak.

Yesterday was Airport Day at RHV in San Jose. Went there and saw some pilots giving rides to families and their kids.

There were a LOT more people there than I thought there would be. I didn't even know about the event, but I noticed a more-than-usual number of planes flying over my house and figured something was up at RHV, so Googled it and saw there was an Airport Day.

Fun stuff.
 
Flew today after the NASCAR race.. Cessna car WON:):)......... My flight was kinda bumby but I wanted to check and see if the NPS removed my crosses from the crash site..... So far they are still there..:yes:;)

Flew to Fredericksburg (T82) Friday evening; no flight Saturday, but an express ride home today in beautiful weather, and exceptional controllers all the way in.
 
Flew over to the KEDU open house. Let about 2 dozen kids sit in my airplane and get their pictures taken. Had a great time.

We, and 20+ other CTs had a pretty wonderful day... in Page AZ. The weather was incredible... 65 degrees and little wind. Using Page as a base, some of us flew Lake Powell and did breakfast in Bullfrog, some went through Monument Valley, some went to Bryce, some flew the Grand Canyon. If that wasn't enough, Page airport had their annual Wings and Wheels Air Affaire. A great finish for several days of great flying!
Friday afternoon, I got to see a big Twin Beech 1900D(?) blow a little plane off the taxiway. The little guy (Cessna 140?), got a little too close to the rear of the Great Lakes Airliner.

I didn't know about that....

I gave a bay tour to some out of town in-laws. Somewhat hazy, but otherwise phenomenal conditions. I like 30+ mile visibility like we had a few days earlier, only got 10-15. :)

You all survived in those deadly unplacarded CTs? :D

For the first time in a while, I went flying 4 days in a row. Farting around. Landing here and there.
