air cooled dad Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 This weeks layovers included VPS and ECP. Weather is excellent down here. Ocean is warm. Waves are almost nonexistent. Landed the mighty Maddog late last night and already saw a few Mooneys parked at the FBO. Mine should finally be done with her month long annual on Sunday. Too late to enjoy this years festivities. New cylinder, new lndg gear 40/1 gears, gear motor redone, new shock discs, Gami injectors, headrests and a few other items. Enjoy some beautiful flying and beach time!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_S Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thanks for reminding me to pack a swimsuit. My question is, do we still get FAA Wings credit if we're playing hooky at the beach?! I'll be there tomorrow morning as well...see y'all soon!

air cooled dad Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Pirep on the climb out to Atlanta... Bases at 5000'. Light chop below. Smooth above the bases. Popcorn clouds scattered enough to find a smooth decent. Winds are from 240/5 surface through 13000'. Above 13000' the winds shift to 090/15 gradually increasing to 20kts by 20000'. Chatting with the ground controller, they are looking forward to seeing all the Mooney's! For those new to this airport, it's a black hole at night!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He normally has to do that to pass time because Boanza's and 210s are so slow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor05121 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I had to leave my plane and drive the 3 hours home. I've got the next week off so I'm calling my CFI tomorrow and getting back into IFR training. It sucks not being able to leave. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
