Last weekends trip to Flagstaff and back had me landing at the home airport with about 18 gallons of fuel. Today I really had nowhere to go, so I decided to fly down to Brown Field (KSDM) to get some gas, and fly over a friends house.
I took off and headed south along the coast and through the VFR corridor over San Diego Int'l, and downtown San Diego. Today was the first fairly clear day that I've flown on in the last several weeks (fires/smoke). It was nice to see it pretty clear again.
After fueling up at Brown Field, I text messaged my friend and told her that I'd be over her house in a few minutes. One of the many nice things about ForeFlight is that you can enter an address and it will plot that address on the map. From there, I was able to send that to my AFS panel, and fly directly over her house. I did a few orbits over my friends house, and then headed north via the inland route; through the Class D of Ramona at 3500', and then a straight line to Fallbrook, where I put the airplane back in the hangar, and gave it a dry wash.
I only flew 1 hour, but had a great time. My friend was so excited to see me overhead and she sent me a still picture and video of my flyover (RV's are really small from 1,000' AGL!) which was fun. Nice to make her day... She has a morning show on the radio, so I am sure that the RV will get some airtime on Monday morning.
What have you done with your RV/RV build this weekend?? Extra credit for pictures!
