Coming home in Mooney time.

[Ned Gravel]

I was unable to get home this weekend because I was stuck in Detroit for both Saturday and Sunday because of that system in the Northeast that took its time to move out into the Atlantic. Remember the beautiful flying last weekend?

Oakland Troy (KVLL) finally showed MVFR at 10:30 this morning and I knew that VFR was over the St. Clair river, just a few miles to the east at the start of 3.2 hours of Mooney time.

Here are the pictures.  2200' ceiling approaching the river from the West, to a 7000' ceiling on the Canadian side, and finally CAVOK (SKC in Canada).  Caught one more photo looking south at the last of the system as I ran east at 5500'. 

3.2 of the best hours I will spend all week (well except for the obvious of course).

That's a good story and a good looking airplane Ned. Thanks for sharing.
