En-Route
Sunday I got my ride/stick time in the L19 I decorated recently... didn't do much other than hold heading and alt, with occasional heading changes, but it was a blast just to go up in it. Dinged-up[ Korean War-vet airplane, windows open, hand signals 'cuz there's no intercom... almost as old-timey as a biplane flight.
Low passes and steep pullups over Jugtown and VanSant, wingovers, balloon-chasing, ridge-hugging... it was fun, and what a perfect day, late in the afternoon when the air calmed down!!
Both of my nose art "victims" in one place...
Low pass over the Jugtown Mtn. strip-
Checking out a balloon...
Crusing along the north edge of Round Valley Res.
I'm owed a little more time for that paintjob, and the owner sez he wants me to decorate another nearly-identical Bird Dog in his fleet (to be paid for with more stick time). I think I might make the next one a smiley shark, instead of an angry shark...
And oh yeah, I ended the day with a Breezy ride...
I didn't get to fly the 2-33 at all Sunday, but I didn't mind...
