It’s Todays Flight for 2025

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.

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.

Back in the barn after the first flight of 2025 for me ..

Wanted to fly today.  But 26 knots of wind, almost direct Xwind, so I didn't.

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.

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.

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
