Cookie, an expectant momma, is on her way to Vermont from Luverne, AL. I picked her up at the Troy, AL airport (KTOI) and flew her back to Moontown (3M5). She is catching ground transport the rest of the way .
Here, she is refusing to have her picture taken (pouting about the trip?).
I flew the plane to Massachusetts to visit my son and his family. Checked off a big bucket list item on the return trip.... I managed to fly the Hudson River corridor. Here's a short video of the trip. My RV has been flying 10 years now. What wonderful flying machines these RVs are. Enjoy!
Weather was perfect for flying, so my son and I flew up to Columbia, CA to camp and see the gold rush town. On the flight back today, we diverted over Yosemite.
The Old Station Fly-In is rapidly apporaching and as I'll be interstate for a couple weeks prior to it, need to get packing now, so it was time to work out just what you can jam into the back of an RV-9. (Quite a bit, actually!)
So far, we have the following already packed, but will likely add more and change the packing order as we get closer.
One folding camp table
Two full-size swags
Two folding camp chairs
Two adult sleeping bags
One bag of tie-down gear
One fly-away kit
One (normally fitted anyway) first aid kit
Two umbrellas
One head lamp
QTY Cyalume sticks and;
Books for Mini-Me to read enroute
To still go on top are
2 pillows
Soft overnight bag
My normal flight bag
2 hats & sun cream
The towbar.
A bunch of quick FAQ handouts about the plane, as this is a public fly/drive-in show, not just for fliers. Might be able to get another RVer or two started!
And Probably more as I think of it.
It looks a lot, but it's mostly fairly lightweight gear, just bulky.
Channelling my inner C182 mantra...."if it fits, it flies!"
