Default Where's Tsam?

Hmmmm....The Val isn't talking, and Mikey is sleeping down at a neighbor's hangar. According to SPOT, Tsam seems to be heading west, and Louise is nowhere to be found! I seem to remember saying something about being able to do her job on-line from the cabin for a week....

Methinks my trip to Minnesota last week has created a bit of wanderlust in the family!

If someone happens to see an apparition from the jungle moon Pandora passing through their airport - let me know!

Paul

Flightaware is showing that ATC thinks Tsam is an RV-10!! Boy, are they at the wrong end of the spectrum....

Looks like you landed at Andrews. How is that airport? I used to live there.

Yup - she stopped at Andrews for fuel and a break. It's almost always the cheapest in the area, good pavement, and has a nice little lounge area.

Default I saw Her/Him

I ran into Louise at Andrews and she was fueling that airplane.



Since it was so close, we flew with her over the rocks of the Guadalupe mountains.


We even saw the bottom a few times.






Louise leaving Guadalupe Mountains National Park and headed on out to Big Bear, California.

Paul and Louise, thank you very much for the extraordinary trust to give me a wonderful opportunity today. It really distracted me for several hours.

So THAT'S where she went!!

Great pics Larry - thank YOU for letting us see Tsam with an interesting background. Not exactly the lush jungles of her home planet....but quite as beautiful.

Default Tucked away in Big Bear

And, it is beautiful up here! Great to escape the flat, hot Texas coast.

Thank you, Larry and George, for the photos of Tsam somewhere interesting. Too bad the fires made the day so hazy. Is the first flying photo Dark Canyon? I really like that one!
