Day trip

Early a.m. Departure to pick up a buddy, kinda blury but I'm landing north.



I've wanted to catch a sunrise since I got the RV flying, until now clouds/visibility kept it from me. Head west young man!



My buddy's grin after the RV turned a 5 1/2 drive into 1.5. Not a pilot himself, but he did introduce me to a pilot buddy of his who got me started in flying. He did get me through Calculus in college though...

great payback!

165+ TAS at 13.5 and less than 8 GPH 30-80* LOP, first time being this high and getting that speed with that fuel burn. Being able to crank down the RPM's with a constant speed would have its advantages...but a day long drive turned into a 2 hour flight with a 20 knt tailwind.


Destination #3 right around lunch time, Ahhh good to see trees again, mini mountains are an added bonus!



Taxiing out for RWY 03...


The usual burning fields on the way home, made it back in time for dinner with the family. This whole RV thing still has me smiling!
