Weather was bad today so my son had to take his lesson in the flight simulators.

I like the second one, you could have a couple kids sit on the end of the wings and randomly bounce up and down to simulate turbulence.

Does he do his instrument currency in the first one or the second one?

He actually liked the second one more, although he did land on the aircraft carrier in the bay between SAN and NAS North Island. He rolled off the end of the deck, though.

The kids got it right...never pass up the chance to do quality sim training!

Last Sunday was filled with flying. Five airports, at least 430 miles, 6 approaches, three ILS’ and three RNAV’s. Pendleton, Yakima, Tri-Cities, Walla Walla, back to Pendleton and one to home. Didn’t get any pictures since I was under the hood for 4 hours out of the 4.7 and got about .6 of actual. It made me feel like a real IR pilot:)

Today was a lot shorter flight. Me and two brand C pilot friends flew into Silvies Ranch resort for breakfast. It’s only about a 12 minute flight. Good friends food and scenery!

Distinctive shadow on the wing during an early morning flight with my oldest son. Over northern Mississippi.

I was bored today and it was raining all day. Decided to turn mine into a warbird to pay homage to what my grandpa was doing 75 years ago. I should dig out his logbook and see what boring training route across Canada he and his crew were flying on this day.

I suppose I could yank the modern maple leaf within the circle and make it more historically accurate by replacing it with a solid red dot.

He actually flew this exact Anson on countless CATP flights.

Flew down to SBA to work on my commercial but when we went out to the plane it started pouring and we could hear thunder, so we did ground school instead. This was the flight down. There was a huge thunderstorm building NE of SBA. When I took off for home I asked to stay as far West as possible to avoid the storm and the controller said “that’s exactly my plan.” They did an awesome job and I had an uneventful flight home...and I got the plane washed!

We have several more school hunting trips ahead of us yet. I'm looking forward to it!

Was doing just that this weekend as well. Took my son to Miami of Ohio where he will start grad school in August. Beautiful campus. Miami University airport KOXD, just 1.5 miles from his new apartment.

That’s the most important thing when you pick schools with your son. How far is it to the ga airport!

Flew to Sunriver S21 for Mother’s Day brunch. Preflighting to leave they had a herd of elk running back and forth over the runway. Shareena is loving the Tangos.

Here, I fixed the picture for you. That's an aerobatic machine and you weren't showing the picture correctly.

Lobstah run!

Belfast Maine, with my oldest son - brought the folding bikes and had a great time. Brought home lobsters and blueberry soda.

There's one shot where the sky is looking like the scene from Dr Seuss' Lorax when he went away. And also you see there is still snow in the mtns and apparently skiing near Mt Washington?! NH.

And for those who like Ben Stiller and his new tv show - there's Danemora prison - which is close enough to where we live here that we were told to lock our doors during that prison break.

Got to take a trip to bring the kids to visit their 94 year old great grandmother and her 3 x 90+ year old great aunties (who all live in the same senior apartment complex together). We were gonna go to DC for a couple of days, but my oldest daughter really wanted to see the Statue of Liberty, so we headed north, flew the Hudson corridor, and made a trip to NY instead.

I have left an airplane on the ramp before but I’ve never left two airplanes on the ramp until tonight.

I was dropping off the Bonanza for annual and picking up my friend’s P210 that just finished annual. As I was taxiing out I noticed that the alternator wasn’t charging. I cycled it five times but it wouldn’t come back online.

Will this be a painting too ? No filters, by the way. Just a humble iPhone 7 !

I would love to see @bonal paint this one.

If you look closely you can see the "up" blade of the three blade prop with the "Flying V" antenna superimposed.

that would be reckless to do without checking the weight and balance charts.

Yesterday I was finished installing the GTX 335 and with new control cables I took her up for the ADS-B check flight. The new cables were so smooth, and the transponder passed with no issues. It was nice to be flying again. Now to get back to putting some hours on the plane.
