Corsicana for lunch
As promised, Tanya and I flew up to Corsicana for lunch with her parents. It was a beautifully uneventful flight. The pictures were all taken with the new Cannon EOS 40D camera. The new prop governor is doing great and CHTs are down about 10 degrees at full power. I am seeing the higher fuel flow numbers that I was expecting on takeoff in the 13 gph range.
As we were chugging along at 5500′, Tanya asked if there was a VOR out here somewhere. I glanced at the GPS and said, yeah, there should be one right below on your side. “Cool, I just took a picture of it.” she said. Ok…
Then there was lunch and back to the airplane for departure.
We took off and did one lap in the pattern and a gratuitous low approach before turning toward home. Tanya’s father apparently got a thrill out of that. We could see him dancing a jig on the tarmac as we went by at 30′ and 90kts then into a “rapid” climb :). Much fun.
