Monday was great for a BC Squadron flight to the Hard 8 in Stephenville, Texas (KSEP) for BBQ. It was great to see the usual suspects again. Been a while for me and reminded me what a great bunch of RVer?s we have.
The usual suspects on the KSEP ramp.
Yes, there really is a Doug Reeves - RV6
Jay Pratt - RV-8
Ross Burgess - RV6
Sid Mayeux - RV-7A
Awesome cloud buildups provided a beautiful view from the cockpit ? a shame more people don?t get to see the sky from an RV point of view. It?s such a pleasant sight.
Sid Mayeux leading the way to from 52F to KSEP
The weather was typical Texas spring weather ? variable. That?s a big word for a Texan ? means it?ll change frequently usually for the worse. The scattered storms provided a good chance to check out my new ADS-B installation for the FIS-B weather. The images were certainly not as well defined as I was used to on my XM Weather, i.e. images appear much blockier (less well defined) than XM but I quickly got used to the new look, and the situational awareness. Weather was updated every few minutes. Knowing the storm situation made the trip home between rain showers pretty easy ? like playing a game of checkers. The ADS-B In traffic also made it easy to spot a couple of my BC Squadron mates about ten minutes ahead and see what route they picked.
Love my RV-8.
A little wet on the way back home. I got a free wash at God's Car Wash
