Congratulations Larry!

With all of the northern flying do you still put it on skis in winter?

This is what is so wonderful about what we do with our freedom to fly. No matter how many hours and what type aircraft you choose to fly the horizon will always offer new and exciting adventures. Yesterday on a routine shopping trip over the hill I made one of the best landings I have ever made. Sometimes it's the little things that bring the most joy. Congrats on your 1000 hours but in looking at your map you have missed out on some great flying west of the Rocky Mountains. Hope your next 1000 brings you out our way.

Thanks all - it's been a great 1000h. Just fueled up for another run...it never gets old.

 

Clarence, keep working on that ski-plane conversion STC!

 

Bahamas trip - didn't write that up, but should have. Great adventures down to Cat Island and back, with several stops along the way. Great little pilot's hide away called the 'Island HoppInn' a short walk from the runway there - flew in from Orlando and stayed a week over Xmas with my wife and two daughters. Private beach, great local vibe, and real not touristy Bahamas culture. Highly recommended! Easy hops to other islands for sight-seeing.

 

The map was done in LogTenPro - there's an option that exports your flight routes to Google Earth. Fun way to look at a logbook!

 

And yeah, there's a lot of empty yet on my map. Looking forward to putting more yellow pins in great locations!

 

Thanks for all the encouragement,

Larry,

I'll look into the ski conversion, but did find floats for you. If Piper could do it I'm sure Mooney can too!
