While the Monkey is stuck in Alaska, Marvin is filling in

Well after close to three months chilling in my hangar because the weather here has sucked, Marvin got to fly today. Took him on the lakeshore tour, and took a crappy picture after all the cool scenery had gone by, because I suck. He also traveled to Minnesota, and got to fly in a mooney, so hopefully more adventures are forthcoming.

Marvin helping me watch for conflicting traffic on the way home from Rough River 2023. Judged my landing at 2R2 for fuel with mediocre results. I threaten to hit the ejection seat button to launch him into the stratosphere. He decided to rate my landing a 10/10 at EYE. So he lived to fly with me another day….

Marvin helping unlock the hangar and check fuel tonight. He didn’t want to go flying. So he stayed back to guard the hangar

Now he’s going to stand guard overnight to keep 84R safe

You're going to leave him alone with your plane? That seems like a terrible idea...

Won’t he need his Q36 space modulator?

Yes he does need that. However when he flew with [mention]masloki [/mention] to Rough River. They didn’t pack the modulator. Or maybe it was lost before masloki started flying with Marvin. I just know Marvin didn’t have the Q36 with him when he jumped in 84R with me after RR.

I also wouldn't want to go flying with that much water in the tanks!

I think I still have it perhaps. He kept dropping it.

Marvin hooked me up with special water fuel for turbo boost like in Mario cart! Was almost enough power to call 84R a VTOL bird!!!

Yeah the paper log is a must, but putting it online also lets everyone see his progress

Marvin came out of hiding yesterday, because his claim with the Intergalactic Insurance Co. came through and he got his Martian Maggot replaced! Now that he has his ship back he agreed to start flying again.
