Didn't find out until today that some family was getting together in Michigan. Airplane came in handy! Turned into a day trip.
On the way over to MI
That's Chicago in the distance...
one of the signs that makes absolutely no sense to me... This end of the runway is in a field, nowhere near anything. Just industrial buildings several hundred yards away.
Been meaning to ask the airport about it for years.
Chasing the sunset. Lake MI in the distance.
See ya later michigan
Lake Michigan calm as can be, IRL it almost looked like a perfect layer of cloud tops
And starting right about here is where you cross your fingers and hope the engine doesn't have a hiccup

Engines can sense fear. As long as you don't show them you're afraid, they'll run without any issues.

Mount Rainier and the buildings of downtown Seattle from Puget Sound just North of Hansville. What a great place to fly!

My therapy couch. Pondering the high tariff on lump starch.

Finally back in my comfort zone....flying.
Fun flight into KCLT in between the big boys. Approach says I'll give you 18L if you promise to give me 160 IAS till 5 mile final. Well, you got it...I think.

Good week for backcountry flying!

Final Approach
It was a really krappy day
On the way to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands, ATC at Whidbey Naval Air Station instructed me to hold AT 3,500' due to a flight of 2 rapidly closing from my 6:00 position. Shortly after the instruction these two EA-18 Growlers rocketed by. Pretty cool to see them from the air knowing there is no TFR anywhere near me...

I like big butts tailwinds and I cannot lie.

got some "free" air conditioning today:
and it looks like they knew I was coming and reserved a table for me:

Not with the winds today. And payload meant I left the O2 behind.

Beautiful sunrise 100 miles out before reaching Algona,Iowa.
Then hell broke loose. I'm at 1500 hrs now (so pretty much a total pro) and this was the 2nd time I've experienced severe turbulence. 1st time was last yr with continuous chop and landing with a lot of cross wind. Hit my head on the ceiling 3 times. I lived.
This time I hit my head once but it was a bad one. The headset came off my head and I heard a bang (i think my loose coffee mug in the back seat may have gone airborne). I instinctively looked outside to make sure my wings and tail were still attached. My 600 hr copilot said he hit his head hard too and for a few seconds he didn't know where he was. Anyways, I make my approach and rwy 12 shows headwind. 1 mile final and I had a 10 kt tailwind. abort. come back around for rwy 30. we land. on taxi the winds go back to favoring rwy 12.
Too much fun. i hope i never give that kind of pirep again. I want no excitement today.
