Finally! KWAY to S37

[dmccormack]

After several months (a move, a job change, and a search for parts all conspired to stretch this out longer than needed), I was finally able to fly the Chief to its new home at Smoketown Airport.

Looks like a good flight...the terrain looks awfully familiar, that's what I see every time I fly home to SEG from BVI to see the folks.

Thanks! It was even more fun actually flying it.



Though my active imagination can be a nuisance as I consider that I'm basically flight testing a rebuilt engine....

I was actually near you Friday. Selinsgrove was off my right wing as I was tracking towards Wilke-Barre.

Nice picture by my student from his cell:

It was overcast and warm (around 60 F) but winds were calm.

Good deal Dan. Can't wait to see the Chief!

You know the new paradigm -- there's no such thing as bad publicity. (If you remain unconvinced, see Lindsay Lohan or Kim Kardashian).

Anyway, it's a nice little field with a parallel grass strip, lots of activity, reasonable fuel, and nice people.
