Default Who flew their non RV today?

Our RV is under construction and ten feet away from me while I type this in my living room, it is so depressing reading all the stories about every one flying here and there in their RVs, But sometimes I need to be grateful for what we have. Today my son wanted to go flying, so we went out to the hanger and took off in the Sky hawk, We headed out over Lake Tahoe for some spectacular views and did a TAG in Truckee. Not an RV flight, but some quality time in the sky with my son.

I am glad you had a ride today...
Hey Bruce, today there was no one in the air at Truckee this morning, this was my first flight there, it is a valley and I had concerns about climb rate in the 172, but all was well, made it out with out a circle to climb, but it was cold today. Can't wait to get my 7A done, and not have to worry to much about climb rate.....

Got a .3 solo hop in a Super Cub. Fun to slow down and putt around at 500ft with no worries,

Spent 4.0 hrs in the King Air B200 from KSAT to KVEL. Gotta love those 95kt headwinds. Sure beats the drive, though.

WAAAY too windy to get the 170 out today. Currently 26G36, and it's been that way most of the day.
