Must be living right. Made it all the way home from Sarasota today, do delays or overnights for weather(although if we left 30min later we might still be in FL).

My plane's last flight under Canadian flag. Next time it flies, it'll fly under U.S. registration - something it hasn't done since 1966!

Some very rotten Mig-29s that have been there longer than I have.

I took these pics a few years ago.

Flew over KPVC heading south

Landed in KCQX, popped the bike out of the plane. There's a bikepath right from the airport that heads west, and goes right past where they were holding a Cape League baseball championship game. https://www.capecodleague.com/

Back home...

Hazy sunset Friday night over cape cod bay.

Feelin like a wuss because that was the only flying I did all weekend because I didn’t feel like bouncing around in the dog days of summer.

Here's a screenshot from my tablet EFB flying back to the Puget Sound from AIrVenture/Oshkosh. I was flying Westward, so the storm was North of my position. This linear convective system was huge, but it was not expanding North, or South. The Storm was slowly moving Eastward, so I paralleled the southern edge of the system through Minnesota on my way to Aberdeen, SD. I always had an escape route to the south, but the air I was flying through remained smooth and calm.


And here's a shot of the storm itself outside my window.

Coming out of Abington VA, wanting to stop at A16, but it had a Foghat.

Which was appropriate since I was in a 172 slow ride.

Are you sure? How about Whiteman?

One hour before the possibility of freezing rain was forecast along with a 4000' ceiling, and ground temperatures of 40+ degrees for the route, lifted off IFR. Encountered one small pocket of freezing rain during the IFR climb out to 6000', lasting maybe 10 or 15 seconds, and noisy. Then it got quiet, so I cancelled the IFR, leveling at 3500' remaining in VMC below minimum vectoring altitudes. Really wanted and appreciated the flexibility of remaining VFR. S-curves all the way, navigated visually between the mountains, looking for towers. Tried ForeFlight's synthetic display, and greatly preferred the side window view with 3 to 5+ mile vis, ground contact, and view of areas of reduced vis in precipitation. Requested a long final at home base to melt it. The ice finally slowly peeled back and off at 38.5 degrees F OAT, at around 1000' AGL. FAFO.

This will have to be my cheapest repair bill to date… minus two rental cars, a night in a hotel room and commercial flight…..

Get your prop balanced and that won’t happen.

Neither. I know he is a sharp kid and a natural at flying. He was not either, he got out of the airplane very calm, cool, and collected. He is going to have a great career.
