Sunblock and I had a 3,100 overcast in the LA Basin when we got here. No problem getting in through the Cajon Pass with good visibility.

15-minutes after putting my airplane in the hangar, I had FEW Clouds over Cable (KCCB) Airport. 45-minutes after landing, I was on my way home and the entire LA Basin was CLEAR.

Enjoyed flying with Scooter, Sunblock; Rosie; Tuppergal; Goose and Cougar; plus Bill and Sharon.

Several people earned callsigns on this trip. Dan Hall "Sunblock", Sean "Goose", and Mercedes "Cougar". Now to get them out in circulations so that the callsigns STICK.

Default Vans guys back home...

Daryl Sahnow and myself made the flight home on Sunday without any real issues other than strong headwinds at all altitudes from about Page, AZ on. CAVU all the way... Routing was 5T6->PGA->BAM->UAO... Crossing Nevada we had to slow down to some continuos light/moderate chop as we crossed ridges. Daryl flew most of the trip down and back so we could get him additional airtime in 'short wing' RV's. He owns and flys a very nice -9A...
It was great seeing every one at the event!

Hmmm...I resemble that remark...

Moose did the Aluminum Mailing Tube thing like Doug, Mel and Ann, and got home safely at 17:45 local. Thanks Delta for not screwing up my weekend. With all the clouds covering everything, there wasn't any reason to look out the window, so I got a nice nap out of the deal.

Pictures will come when I get them out of the camera,

Default Home Safe from LOE

Ann and I got home safe with blue skies all the way on Monday afternoon. Sunday and Monday morning at KLBB was 200-400 OVC with mist, light rain and down to 1/4 mile visibility. Far below my IFR minimums for an approach.

We stayed an extra day, enjoyed two great meals at Kiki's mexican food place, Ann did more shopping (she thought I needed to lose weight). Somehow the reduction in weight in my back pocket translated to an increased take off weight (good thing I had the RV-10).

Both:
Rosie = "Sunblock"
Both = "Goose"
I came up with = "Cougar"

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cougar for Cougar info.
IMHO, a Cougar is just a cute cat.
