Since the 9A has been completed, I have been taking most of the flights with friends or fellow pilots. My wife had not been to big on the idea of flying in what she likes to call 'Alpha|Bravo' or "aluminum bitch".
This past weekend may have been a turning point. For the first time she went with me for a long cross country. We flew from Chino to Santa Rosa.
Ann, just after she stopped shaking form the take off...
Leaving LA, this is a shot just north of the LA basin...
This one is just past the Tejon Pass, 5 North from LA to San Fran...
On the way North we had a bit of a head wind slowing us down, only 156mph over the ground...
Up North just outside of San Fran...
Just past Oakland and San Fran, we had ground fog. We delayed the flight as this was covering Santa Rosa earlier in the morning...
Santa Rosa. The airport know by 3 names. Charles M. Schulz., Santa Rosa, Sonoma County Airport...(oops, corrected spelling)
On the way home we had a nice tail wind that really helped with the ground speed. I think this is a record for me (218 mph over the ground, 145 knot TAS).
Keep pounding those rivets. These RV's are great flying machines. Just gotta love it!
