flying
Saturday we flew to Corsicana and landed. We wandered around the airport and looked in the hangars at some very neat aircraft. Before we took off, Tanya called her parents and had them go out to see us
fly over. We flew up to town and did a couple of low circles over their house with a departing wing rock. Then we headed over to Tanya’s sister’s house on the lake, only about 8min. away by air. We did a couple
turns over her house, made a little “extra” noise with the airplane, a departing wing rock and headed back home. Everybody saw the show. It was about 100mi. each way.
Today (Sunday), we did a flight to Senora. About 150mi. each way. We flew out there via Llano and Junction at 10500′. Nice and smooth up high and very nice with supplemental oxygen onboard. We
did a spiraling decent down through the broken layer of clouds that we were above to land at Senora. One quick touch-and-go and we were back off toward home. We flew back at 5500′ under the cloud layer. That
was kind of bumpy, but a good exercise. This trip was just over an hour each way. Much fun.
I’m still trying to decide if we’re going to do one more expanded “test run” out to Pecos and back before the trip to New Mexico for the LOE fly-in. The machine is working well and the pilots are improving their
skills. Not a bad weekend at all.
