A beautiful day for flying.  I just dropped off my friend at his strip, on departure he snapped these.

I thought your plane required a trailing KC-135. Don't see one in the photos.

Two highlights of 2015 were flying up to to the Asheville area and checking into Little Switzerland Inn and meeting Gary Jensen. 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?

It's orbiting overhead, but not for me.  My fuel burn is miserly compared to my friends Quest Kodiak, 50 GPH for 170 KTS.

Meanwhile er uh over central MD...there was a huge snowstorm that curtailed almost any activity not involving a shovel or a plow.

The point of this thread is for an ongoing spot for folks to share their flights. 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.

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,

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

Ugh. 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.

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

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.

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.... Pretty fast!

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!

 A trip from Byron (C83) to Madera, CA (KMAE) and back.

[bonal]

Madera is where we bought our Mooney, that must have been yesterdays weather cause its back to solid OVC and its raining again. But the lakes are filling up woohoo!

[FlyDave]

It should be VFR on Saturday Bonal.
