Default Flying Anyone?

It's a beautiful day to fly in MI, so I was trying to find an interesting destination. Does anyone have any suggestions? The west coast looks beautiful, but that's a little far in a Cessna today. Are there other pretty stretches of coast or interesting destinations closer by? I'm missing my Maine stomping grounds a bit today.

I would say come to KPYM but it's too windy today to have a pleasant flight.

See you soon pal!

Default If I had speed

Hey John,

If I had this project finished and 200 mph under me that might be a possibility for a weekend flight

I second the vote to check out chapter #113 - It's been 14+ years since I was last a member there, but that's where I attended meetings (Wednesday nights?)... Moved to CA long ago... Miss many friends from MI, but don't miss the 'no fault' car insurance.

P.S. Are you going to work for Ford?

Chris

I live in Grosse Pointe Woods and am building a RV-12. We must be practically neighbors. I will be going to Chapter 13's March meeting this Thursday, March 1st. You are welcomed to drive up with me to Ray Community Airport. Chapter 13 has a great group of fellow pilot who will make you feel at home. The Chapter's website is http://www.eaachapter13.org/

The Chapter will be hosting at our meeting the FAA Pilot Proficiency (Wings) Program on Aeronautical Charts which the FAA is co-sponsoring.
