Mark Strahler was inviting me to visit Falcon Field KFFC for years. I always had a sound reason not to go. Suddenly in middle of the week I had nothing to do for 48 hours. Email goes to Mark are you home? No, he said I am in Texas, time your visit in 24 hours. Excellent! I have several spots to check and bump up my grass strip count.
Hour one.
Mid Atlantic Regional Spaceport at hour two. Rocket launchers charged.
Refuel at Hour 3. Couple years ago here at Currituck airport a corporate jet blasted me. I found him and he still owes me two beers one for each engine.
A boost of flying morale shortly after that. The heat is up.
Hours 4 and 5 weren't long either. I watched "Clouds" the movie. Enjoyed two minutes live radio show on 121.5 when a captain did a PA after landing at Fort Lauderdale. One more minute of intense comments followed until on guard nazis shut them up.
My next destination was Rooster field which comfortably situated under Fort Bragg MOA. The grass strip with fascinating history. I will tell you tomorrow.
