bonal Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Well it’s the new year and I thought I’d start the thread for this calendar year. Hope is for lots of flights throughout the year. Bonal 4 Quote
M20F Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 I thought about flying today on 1/1/25, it was a glorious day in ATL. Then I decided eating left over charcuterie and drinking dredges of wine, champagne, and other fruitful drinks was a better way to spend the day. I promise on 1/2/25 to do better. Quote
toto Posted January 2 Report Posted January 2 Back in the barn after the first flight of 2025 for me .. 2 Quote
Pinecone Posted January 2 Report Posted January 2 Wanted to fly today. But 26 knots of wind, almost direct Xwind, so I didn't. Quote
EricJ Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 Not a Mooney, but coming back from Tucson tonight had a nice sunset. This is continuing on a little bit from the night flying pics from last year. This is something I rarely get to do. 3 Quote
hubcap Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 Took Myrtle up for the 1st time in 2025. Flew 3 approaches and 3 night landings. Was blessed with an absolutely gorgeous sunset. Now we are going to get hammered with weather. Myrtle is tucked safely away. 3 Quote
Ibra Posted January 4 Report Posted January 4 (edited) Happy new year to all Mooniacs ! First flight in Mooney (second flight of 2025): quick trip to Amiens (LFAY), cold weather here in Normandy but nothing compared to “freezing bones” in Chicago The first flight of 2025 was Wing-Shift ULM (sort unregulated LSA), takeoff on skis at 9500ft elevation on top of Alps, a very short flight though: at -15C, this is the best fun one can have with LOT of their cloths on, it did not last more than 15min my wife complained about flying in freezing cold on “something that looks like motorcycle”, I reassured her that it makes us younger: the cold help to preserve meat for long conservation, this analogy did not go very well Edited January 4 by Ibra 5 1 Quote

Hank Posted Thursday at 10:12 PM Report Posted Thursday at 10:12 PM Shocking! I made a round-trip to Houston, VFR both ways! I've usually been above a pretty solid layer with no ground visibility. This is crossing the Mississippi, looking towards Natchez on Tuesday. Coming home today was smooth sailing at 9500, just had to duck out of an MOA that two F-35s entered about 4 minutes after me, and about 15 minutes after Center confirmed that it was cold . . . . 3 Quote
