Motivated by Rosie's writeup about visiting Paul and Louise in Dayton, I decided Laura and I needed to fly over and say hi to them also.
Laura has been gone to Hawaii for 5 months with her work, and this is the first flight since she has been home-----so we needed to do more than just a simple "go to lunch" flight.
Here we are at 11.5k going over the hills west of Lake Tahoe, 30+mph winds from our 10:00 made for a bit of a bumpy ride.
Not a lot of snow in the sierras, but most of the smaller lakes frozen over.
Made it
Laura had never seen Tsam in person, so she got the grand tour........
Louise had never been in a flying RV 10, so I gave her the quick intro to the plane, and after the house tour, and lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, took her up to fly the 10. Laura got in the back of Paul's RV 8, "Val", and got followed us to shoot some photos.
Louise flew pretty much the whole time, I just did T/O and landing------insurance only covers me---------and she did a great job of it. We had briefed with Paul and Laura before we left, so getting some nice photos was pretty easy-----------I suspect P & L have done this before
