Great RV day...

Today I made the last flight of 2011. I also made the last flight entry into my first log book, 1.1 hours. The first entry was 8/23/68. And I flew formation to lunch with my RV buddies.

All in all a pretty special day!!

My first flight on 2012 will be on 1/2. That will also be my first entry into my second log book. I hope that I can do that flight with them, too.

I flew with my new Halo headset today. I got a good seal in the right ear, and it was great. I could not get a good seal in the left ear, and I heard a lot of wind noise. I'll work more on getting better insertion of the plugs. So far I am happy with the lack of head clamp, ear sweat, etc.

Happy New Year to all at VAF!!

It sure was a beautiful flying day in Florida! While northbound we passed a group of four RVs (90% sure they were RVs) southwest of Keystone, in a line. I'd just noticed them, heading the other direction, when I saw the third plane, which was red, do a nice looking roll. Maybe y'all... made my trip in any case. Dead calm the rest of the way home, with a tailwind. Lovely! Congrats on filling up a logbook!

Jon, I'm pretty sure that was Chris and the Dreamland Squadron you saw. Location is correct and if somebody was inverted that's pretty much a dead give away!

It was beautiful flying in the north Georgia mountains on Christmas Eve and also today. I intend to make sure that today was not my last flight of 2011.
