Chances are pretty good I'll be taking it to them this fall for a full repaint and interior. They painted my plane, very happy with it! Quote

wombat Posted April 24 Report Posted April 24 Some recent flying related pictures. My Mooney with a Blackfly from https://pivotal.aero down at Byron (C83) San Francisco from the air on a beautiful day Garmin Math: 200 KTAS + 12 KT tailwind == 215 KT groundspeed.... It was a worse discrepancy on a different flight but I hadn't thought to take a picture. In my home area the Arrowleafs are blooming. It doesn't show up as well in the picture as it does in real life, but the hills are really pretty right now. 3 Quote

So, apparently you can write a freehand notation on the chart with ForeFlight that will track any chart motion or scaling. So you can just write on ForeFlight and then just fly the lines. Much easier than the old days when you had to make a flight plan and fly it precisely. I just tried the pen icon on the main screen. It does exactly what is needed. Now all I need is good penmanship.

Ragsf15e Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Spokane to Carson City for a visit with the parents/grandparents. 15,000’ most of the way at 175ktas and 10.4gph. Awesome airplanes! IFR and had to stay low for icing across Washington, but Real pretty descending across Reno near Pyramid Lake and Blackrock “airport”. 9 Quote

When I went to Cody, terrain above me was constant, until well east of my homeward fuel stop in Gillette . . . Then again, I was in my C with my wife's baggage and a couple bags from my friends in a 172. Quote

Ibra Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Flew to Munich with family, to see some German friends and watch UEFA football cup: Paris PSG did win football final, ahem soccer final not NFL We also visited few museums (Schleißheim, Dutches, BMW), lot of engines & propellers enough to keep me and kids busy and wife bored. The return flight Munich-Paris was a long way with 30kts headwinds and lot of weather avoidance, however, the Mooney always delivers back home, this time the Europe football cup is back home !
