Beautiful West Coast Flight Today. Mooniac helping Mooniac!

[MrRodgers]

Today was one of the best days I’ve had flying my Mooney. Flew my longest solo cross country yet from Van Nuys to Lampson Field (LASAR). I had a chance to help one of our most active West Coast Mooney Club members as I met up with Andrew Carlson to give him a ride home after he dropped off his Mooney at LASAR for annual. Just over 900 miles in 6.2 hrs of flight time. We even had some actual IFR ( flown from the right seat by Andrew) on the return to his home field at Oxnard. It was the first time I’ve experienced IFR conditions. What a blast. Dropped him off and had my first night flight in my plane back to Van Nuys. Clear skies and a smooth landing benefiting from the LED landing light I installed last year. I love flying and I love my 67 F. A day for the memory books.

The best days in these here parts are to be had in October, November, and even December.  Spring too.  Northern California is simply one of the best areas for flying in the country.  Just not for paying taxes.

I staged a rescue mission to South Bass Island for another Mooney pilot last weekend.  Thankfully we were able to get his aircraft started.  Still, it was a nice day to fly.
