You guys can laugh all you want about the pants but there really is no point in putting on clean ones cause they'd get dirty immediately. Poor plane is taking a toll inside and out as well. .....

Same with your underwear I suppose. The 'aroma' in your cabin must be unique. Air that plane out, but not in Florida please.

May be the first time I've ever been sorry for the Customs inspectors ;)

Next day we continued north to the neighboring island of Dominica. A left turn out from the runway, we opted to overfly Martinique because the terrain was reasonably flat. Not the case with Dominica.

That was some landing into St Vincent! Twilight, cloud deck at 1800 broken and occasionally lower, cancelled IFR when I saw an opening (no instrument approach) dipped underneath, island dodging at 100

Ahhh, I'm not sooooo sure that is oil on them there cargo pants... Urinating in a plane is a delicate activity...

I've had so much fun with this thread.  I'm trying to figure out how Mike gets home after he stops at Providenciales.   Are the Bahamas in his future?  Bermuda?    Ft Lauderdale, then a strait shot home?

Looks like Mike is headed to Fort Pierce Fl today.  I'd love to see him go through customs.  The inspector might take on whiff of the interior, and wave him through!

Why such a short leg? I thought he put in long-range tanks so he wouldn't need to stop so often.

Port of Entry. I think less likely to draw attention if clears it immediately when entering back into the U.S. Either that or his plane is so stinky he needs to land early to air it out periodically.

Traveling with my dad. He makes all travel arrangements and I do all the aviating.

Geez I wish one of my sons would take me on such a trip... actually, just wishing take me up for a round around the area... this is what i did to my dad several years ago but my sons have no interest in flying...

About my dad: He was a private pilot when I was a teenager and took me up in a brand new mooney demonstrator for several flights. I guess this is what made me aware of the Mooney passion. When i finally got my license (without him knowing i was taking lessons), I surprised him one day telling we had an airplane ride with a friend and his eyes were kind of looking suspicious when i shown him the Cessna 150 him, me and that fake friend had to sit into.

It's official now, you need to change your screen name to "201LR" since you have now demonstrated that your 201 makes good use of it's Long-Range tanks. Besides, "201Parrots" is awkward. (Unless you captured some in Belize?)
