My airplane is supposed to be flying itself here from greater DC in the next couple of hours. Please, weather gods, please!!
Today, I'm supposed to be flying to FL.
Instead, I'm shoveling snow and ice......oh well.......
The hard part was teaching it to come when I whistle.WOW that is some awesome autopilot. It can fly itself! That I'd like to see.. Seriously I can appreciate your anticipation Ken.

Well, the airplane will sit there until Sunday. It's a no-go for today and the ferry pilot has to fly someone to Belize tomorrow, back Saturday. Sigh. And I had optimistically scheduled a trip for this weekend.They're open, but:
Runway 9/27 thin packed snow on runway effective from February 14th, 2007 at 12:25 PM EST
and:
Hagerstown MD (Hagerstown Rgnl-Richard A Henson Fld) [KHGR] special observation on the 14th at 12:06pm EST (1706Z) wind 310° at 16 knots, visibility 5 miles, mist, 900 feet few, 4,900 feet broken, 6,000 feet overcast, temperature -4°C (25°F), dewpoint -6°C (21°F), altimeter 29.49, automated station with precipitation discriminator, snow ended at 4 minutes past the hour, less than 0.01 inch (water equivalent) of precipitation in the previous hour.
But I'm sure you're probably already following all that. Good luck!! I'm sure the plane will also be happy to get to FL.![]()
