I Haven’t Flown Here In 30 Years

[PilotRob]

I grew up flying in MN with my Dad, and Grandpa...(both pilots and airplane owners)...

...my Dad flew for fun and a little business. 

...my Grandpa was a Naval-Marine and flew a Vought F4U-1 Corsair off the USS Bennington in WWII, and owned about a dozen different planes including a 60’s decade Mooney. 

A lot of flights, including the last flight I ever took with my Dad about 30 years ago was at a little airport in Brooten, MN (6D1)...

...on a recent trip back to MN for a HS renunion, we decided to go relive the airport where my Dad got me hooked on aviation (my wife flew with him too when we were in High School).

Since I did it in my M20J and shot the entire flight, I thought I’d share it here.  Enjoy...

Nice flight and nice landing! I have landed at Brooten. I used to hang out around Brooten a lot in the 80’s, it was great pheasant hunting back then. Welcome to the forum.
