What was your descent rate?

I got signed off yesterday by Snoopy while in Las Vegas for the Henderson PPP. (Got to fly with Don Kaye). No clinics close to the Pacific Northwest since Velcro and Clippy moved away. Janet was gracious enough to take a morning out of her busy schedule to fly with me.

Any formation pilots going to the Henderson PPP next week? Im trying to arrange a proficiency check while there. Snoopy may be able to be the check pilot if there is a lead aircraft

Lela Hughes will email you. See you there if I can get my 24 volt voltage regulator issue resolved by then

You’ve got me beat. I drive a 2003 Tundra

Just received an invoice in the mail from Vector Planepass. I flew to Port Angeles (KCLM) and left it at the FBO to diagnose and fix ALT FLD circuit breaker tripping issue. They are billing me for $10 daily parking fee even though the airplane is parked inside the FBO hanger. I emailed a dispute. Invoice is for “parking”. Airport fee schedule says “tie down”.

Tie down rings (factory) are to be removed before flight. Do those of you using the tie downs to ground install them to fuel then remove them?

Formation flyers with vernier throttles have invented gadgets to disable them

I overnighted at KCFO in April 2023 on my way back to the Pacific Northwest. Good restaurant on the field. Good smaller airport for fuel/ meal stop

Prior to 2023 annual the gear warning horn would occasionally chirp when taxiing over a bump. Advanced happened to have a NBS in stock. Looks like I dodged a bullet of several AMUs

Flight home from Troutdale after annual. Thank you Jeremy @J Ro for the ride down

When I was in law school at ASU my cousin would take me rattlesnake road hunting east of Mesa. We got a few $ selling them to a taxidermist who used the skins. No license needed in 1976-1979 (as far as I knew then)
