2016 Review
Logged 211.2. Hours in all planes. Mine and customers.
Home base is Hicks Airfield, T67. Fort Worth, Texas
Flying Trips
Super Cub 'Shooter' to Big Bend Area of Texas, 19.2 hours of pure eye candy! Flying canyons, camping, and visiting local folks.
C180J 'Paul Revere' to Florida and Key West. Fun, fun, fun!
Exp Super Cub to Oshkosh. 64.8 hours. We landed Every North Dakota Public Use airport all 89. ND has a passport book and a stamp for each airport. We landed most before heading to Oshkosh. After OSH we flew back to get the 7 we missed on the first try. ND gives prizes for different levels of accomplishment in their pass port book. Fill the book! Land every airstrip, and you get a Cap, a Flight Bag, and a Leather Flight Jacket. I told Carol, this will be the most expensive Leather Jacket ever. We have to go back up to get it! The rewards are given out March, 5th.. burrrr
C180J to Port Aransas, Texas for a stay at Amelia's Landing. Always, a fun time!
RV8 'Borrowed Horse' took us to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a river rafting adventure, then to Colorado to visit friends. It did lots of Lunch runs. And short trips to Oklahoma, to visit friends.
We attended the Texas STOL competition. In Lano, TX.
Can't believe we only went to Port Aransas, once in 2016? Usually get a few trips down there.. perfect trip for an RV for us.
We were at Reklaw. Fly-In. Allways fun!
My shop saw 2 new RV8s fly in 2016. Hope to see more than 2 in the coming year.
All in all a successful year.
The C180J got a new engine. I dropped the deposit check off in person on the way to Florida. The salesman was supprised!
My log book ticked over the 5000 hour mark. A personal milestone. Now it has 5123.8.
Did not fly to Idaho, first time to miss since DR and I went so long ago, 12 years? Plan to go back this year.
Let's here about your adventures from 2016. Wishing all of you a healthy
Happy 2017! Hope for tailwinds and clear sky's
