Ben is a great guy, I did both my PP and IR rides with him. I ran into him a few weeks back in the FBO lobby, we BS'd for a good while. Hadn't seen him in a year or so. Interesing guy.

Although it is neat, it is actually kinda sad, that airplane wants to fly!!!
 
6P3 to KLNR for breakfast this morning. There were a lot of planes on the ramp and the restaraunt was packed.

Took my dad up in 691SP on a flight up to Port Clinton and a tour of the Lake Erie islands, he took some pretty decent photos :)

That was the longest flight I've done so far. Almost didn't launch because ceilings were kind of low in SW Ohio but decided to go for it since the clouds were supposed to rise. It was a little rough for the first bit but I'm really glad I did!

Thanks, VanDy! Those are some nice shots yourself! If you're ever up near PCW, stop at the diner on field and let me know how it is. It looked pretty good but dad wanted to go see the islands and we decided dealing with possible turbulence with a full stomach probably wasn't the best of ideas. Probably a good decision, too, 'cause it was choppy as hell on the way back until I got confirmation that skies were clear over SGH and climbed out of the thermals.

Yeah, I somehow managed to get a reservation on 1SP for 6 hours today... Which is probably why the clouds decided to come down for a visit this morning, lol. 8JA was booked the best part of the day, as always, but thankfully VanDy wasn't taking 1SP this time! I really need to look into joining a club or buying my own...

Edited to add: Also, if you're up at PCW, give the museum a tour. Totally worth the $5. I didn't even know there was a diner or museum on field until I got there lol. Might wanna take some chocks or rope for tie-down.

Good report AJ, we might be meeting some friends there on the 26th weather permitting.
 
Always a great sight. It has been in Charleston, SC., for a few days and the folks have been coming in large numbers.

Landed about 15 minutes too early. Took this last Tuesday while fueling up.

Holy crap, that is beautiful. I would really love to do a flight like that some day.

You totally should! Landing on 36 at PCW has you coming in partially over the water, it's really cool and really different for a flatlander like me. I'm definitely intending to go back to PCW some day, if only to eat at the diner. They had a bacon milkshake that sounded pretty tempting (and also sort of disgusting).
 
You mean the Miami River doesn't do it for you? How about the beautiful Moscow Power plant covered in fog?

I love flying along rivers, lakes, and the coast. So scenic.

Can't compete with the Sierras for drama, but it's some purty country.

3W2 and take a cart into town for food, I'm partial to the Ruben at the pub, Guinness is a bonus if we are staying long enough.

While I'd love to, the insurance policy at the FBO prohibits operations on strips less than 3000' :( Guess that's just more reason to buy my own plane...

Yeah, really. Especially since the only planes the FBO has available for solo rentals are 172s and 152s. No grass strips allowed either.
