Marauder Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 It's only green for a month or so the rest of the time it is brown... or on fire Well, it was purdy out here today. Heck, I'd even venture to say some California pilots might even be able to log a few minutes of actual. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote
bonal Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Posted March 27, 2016 Finally back in the sky today. It's been a month and a half since last we flew. Just another run to Walley World to stock up on needed supplies. My flying wasn't as rusty as expected and made 2 sweet landings. Nice to see the green hills and some water in the small lakes we flew over. Not happy about the oil temp reading on my just serviced gauges but other than that Snoopy performed well. 1 Quote
Yetti Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 Got to take dad up for some boring holes in the sky. Let him have the controls (he has a PPL from way back but has not flown since the 60s) interesting to see others with the plane. 1 Quote

cnoe Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 Friend of mine drives a Nissan Leaf and flies a Baron 58. Gets teased a lot. Rumor has it his fuel burn on one takeoff roll exceeds his yearly energy consumption in the Leaf. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

It ain't logical, but it's all about feeling green. It is hilarious when we deplane a single passenger off of his bizjet after a transcon flight that burned tons of fuel and he gets into his Prius which the FBO has pulled up planeside. I guess if you waste that kind of fuel, you have to make amends where you can! 2 Quote
