We are going to be in three different states, meeting with 2 groups of friends and one big family get together, 350 nm apart and we'll do it in 2 1/2 days.  Best of all there won't be any traffic jams to deal with in the Mooney.  Can't do that in a car.Smile

I'll be bringing my plane home for the first time!!!


I just finished my insurance minimums last week.  My airplane stayed behind to get a few tweaks before coming to her new home.  I'll be flying from middle GA to north GA.  Only 100 NMs, but I'm wondering if anyone else will enjoy flying as much as I will on Saturday!!!  Cool

Flying a short jaunt to have Thanksgiving with my folks, but then heading to Missouri on Sunday (weather permitting) to look at a Mooney that could soon be mine.  Wish me luck!

Port Clinton, Ohio PCW to Grand Rapids, Michigan 08C. Our normal flight to visit the kids, about an hour long vs. 4½ hrs. in the car. We decided to leave yesterday and get there before the low pressure frontal system moved in. It started raining shortly after we got here. A little headwind this time, we were only getting 17.6 mpg.

I flew, not a Mooney, but a Cessna 150 trainer. My first "real" flight. A 100 nautical mile solo flight.Great flight over the finger lakes of NY. It went smooth, though I did get some carb ice that needed to be taken care of.  I am ontrack for a checkride down the road if all goes well. Then if all goes great... getting a Mooney.

Actually you are right!! I did fly further. I think it was in a 707 maybe? Any rate, I was a passenger on a cross country flight. commercial that is..


I have been splitting my time between upstate NY, country airstrip flying (NK74), and Oakland (OAK). Worlds apart. NK74 is a grass strip in the middle of some very beautiful scenery, And Oakland is class C inside SFO class B airspace.  Both areas of flying have given me very different sets of flying skills.  (flying costs are also worlds apart...).

Heading south about 150 nm to central Ark for a night with the inlaws. The next day we are heading to NW Missouri to visit some more family members. Merry Christmas everybody. Fly safe.

I flew to Reading, PA, to visit my family for Thanksgiving.  I opted to fly on the airlines vs. Mooney, due to the unpredictable weather this time of year.

My plan was to fly to Belize and spend the week there... Now somebody at HQ (Washington DC) decided that it was a brilliant idea to hold a "Leadership forum" in DC tomorrow till Wednesday and then another one from next Monday to Friday... so instead of sitting in N9341V I will be spending quality time on American Airlines and at the Miami Airport... Bummer....
