I woke up one morning last week and I had an idea, this idea is leading me to fly to Tulsa OK today…
 
What was the idea?

They have the main runway closed, leaving the smaller parallel for all the traffic and some interesting taxiing I think. A student of mine had a checkride there on Monday, said it was a zoo (which it usually is every time I've been there, but even more so with a runway closed).

Have fun!

Look at that hangar and that cumulonimbus buildup.

Landed, the last hour was painful, with 30kt headwinds and 99-100kts ground speed. Low level windshear on short final, stall warning light illuminated (I want to attach a buzzer to this). Airspeed went from 80 to 60 in half a second. Good thing I was paying attention, lowered nose and added throttle.

The idea last week was to check out Tulsa Tech for their A&P program. I want to learn more about my airplane.
