We did a little XC today. C77, overflew RPJ and onto SQI. A couple of T&Gs and we headed back.

Tomorrow the weather looks better and we are going to fly up to Oshkosh.

Have a great time! Try to get some video. Would love to see your trip.

Hoping for tail winds both ways for ya!

Greg.

What is that strange piece of paper in your hands? ;-)

I'm just trying to not raise a child of the Magenta line!


So far so good.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I like the sectionals in your hands for navigation. Do you have heat in your airplane? Great job.

Thanks Greg! Our Sonex heater is the ball of fire that our planet orbits. Works poorly when it's cloudy. Reasonably comfortable just below freezing. For single digits we really have to dress for it. I discovered stick-on toe warmers. They help.

Ahhhh! Solar heat. How green. Maybe you should apply for an income tax deduction. HaHa!
