What did you do with your RV this weekend? (1/9/21 - 1/10/21)

[Nova RV]

Pilots N Paws rescue flight with one dog and 2 cats. Great way to get my flying fix and help out.

Also got to wing-wag at my wife, dog and in-laws at the north end of the lake.

It was one of those days where you forget about all the frustration of building and just enjoy some RV awesomeness!

Looking good Dave! Is it lake Winnipesauki? Is the ice forming on Alton Bay?

Despite having a 14 in the hangar now, and that being a better fit for what I do with the airplane (and the 14 being easier to get in and out of, due to some mobility problems for my passenger..which was the driving force for me), I was sad to see it go. My 9A was the source of many great memories, lots of learning, and occasionally, some frustration. I think that can be said of ALL of our RV's, right?

Beautiful flight to Denver, and a nice flight and conversation with the new owner.

appeared to be a nice final flight with some beautiful mountain photos. a great way to part ways with the aircraft.

Thanks Vlad! That's Newfound Lake, 1P1 and Plymouth NH are 3 miles or so past the mountains at the north end of the lake.

Ice is indeed forming on Alton Bay. Still a ways to go, but we're supposed to have some really cold weather in the next 2-3 weeks that might open up the runway in February.

I hadn’t been off the planet since 11/28. I was happy just to get a tour of the neighborhood. I also redid a Vy climb test, nothing quite like -1500’DA at 800’MSL. Zoom!

I'm recovered enough from my foot surgery to where I was able to climb into my 8 yesterday, taxi it around the ramp, and do a run-up. First time since early October!

Felt great to get back in the saddle, even if just for ground ops. My ankle is still a bit too weak and sore to trust it for operating the rudder and brakes during a landing. Hope to get airborne in a couple weeks or so.

Flyover for gone west Bourland field resident Mike “Yeti” Schriever. Delta pilot, A-10 pilot, ( KC Hogs) RIP YETI.

Departure pass after A-10 Ceremony missing man.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know Yeti but I flew in his airplane with Rifle once and my dad was a crew chief at his A-10 unit.

My RV-10 isn't going anywhere yet, but it got a lot closer to takeoff. We hung the engine on it Saturday.

Sorry about the rotated photos - I can fix them in my EAA blog but I don't know how to fix them here.
