Second highlight was flying over to the Bahamas and spending the weekend in Elbow Cay with Daver328 (Dave Herman) and his wife Tammie. Now that was a lot of fun. Did you guys talk politics?

See today's flight 2015 and you can read lots of posts on the subject. The thread was so full I wanted to start a new one for this year.

carusoam Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Something happens with the forum software... when you push the 'unread content' button it usually goes to the last posts you have read... sometimes it starts at the first thread and you read and read and read... Till you find the thin blue line where you left off... MPG, is that what you mean? Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonal Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 FINALLY we had some flyable weather it's been 23 days I think thats the longest inactivity since I got our Mooney. Met a nice gent at STS today he had a real nice 64C . It was just another milk run but who cares we were up with the clouds and made 2 nice landings 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This afternoon I helped my father in-law clear the snow away from his hangar in preparation for the plows at FDK. He doesn't expect to be out until Wed. HGR was open for OPs this morning, but the T's were still buried. We're close to completely clear now. They have some wicked looking snow removal implements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The township plows and front end loaders are there. Hopefully they will make a dent in it tonight!

bonal Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Had a real mission today. Took a fellow from work who needed some aerial photos of an oil spill containment and clean up site. He is a fan of GA and has flown as a PAX in many types but was his first time in a Mooney. He really liked my Mooney. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhop Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Working on my cross country time this evening. 55nm, KSEE to KHMT and back in 1 hour from start-up to shut-down burning 10gph....

dfgreene61 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) The weather in Idaho has been terrible for flying this winter. El Niño has been keeping KIDA socked in. Finally got to start up 62G and go flying yesterday. Did some slow flight and stalls. Practiced landings at U02 (Blackfoot). DA was only 3,000 feet, I felt like a flat lander. Climb at 1,200 FPM. Almost 75% power! Edited January 28, 2016 by dfgreene61 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
