HopePilot Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 Flew over to The Waypoint Cafe for lunch. It's always nice to hear the Merry Christmas calls on the radio. Ran into FlyDave (Picture Attached). On the way back, I decided to show the wife how to use the autopilot to fly her back to the runway via the KAP 150 capturing the ILS, in case I am ever incapacitated. A beautiful day to fly.
DaV8or Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 Ooooh! You guys and your flying wives! Errrrrr.... It was a beautiful day here too in Sedona where I am spending the week and I wish I could have flown here. Saw guys flying today over the gorgeous red rocks and was jealous. I plan to go up and visit the airport after Xmas. I love the Waypoint, have been there many, many times.
HopePilot Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Posted December 24, 2010 We were thinking of going to Sedona, but it didn't work out. Bet we run into you soon anyway.
lahso Posted December 25, 2010 Report Posted December 25, 2010 Flew to see the in-laws, and got back before the snow hit. Two-hr flight vs. a 6.5hr drive - priceless.
jackn Posted December 25, 2010 Report Posted December 25, 2010 Have New Years plans in Sedona. I am based in the Northeast and cannot seem to find a safe way out west due to weather. I hope to get out early next week. The pictures look great!!

FlyDave Posted December 25, 2010 Report Posted December 25, 2010 Fernando - good to finally meet you. Your plane is as beautiful as when I originally looked at it. I just noticed that a number of people wil be/try to be in Sedona. My wife and I are leaving EMT for Sedona in about 45 minutes - arrive around 2:15. See 'ya there!

trjymr Posted December 26, 2010 Report Posted December 26, 2010 I had to go from Dallas to Houston and back to Dallas to pick up my daughter for christmas morning, with 700 foot ceilings I had to drive, so a 3 1/2 hour plane ride turned into an 8 hour car drive... Happy blue skies to you guys out on the west coast though LOL
randypugh Posted December 26, 2010 Report Posted December 26, 2010 Not Christmas eve but is holiday travel. I flew from Zeeland Michigan to Nashville Tenn. to Pittsburg Pen. back to Zeeland today to pick up the family for a holiday get-together. 2 aproaches, snow and wind but what a way to travel.
1964-M20E Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 I didn't actually go anywhere. I took my dad up for a nice flight over the marshlands south of N.O on Christmas eve. Nice way to spend 1.5hr with dad but any time spent with dad is good.
