We got as far as we could VFR (Abilene, TX) Sunday, then the weather wall stopped moving north around 3pm. Up to that point it was BEAUTIFUL (some pics below). Plan B.....ate lunch with Scott's Dad, who lives there, and then put the planes in the FBO hangar (great help from these folks) and rented a SUV for the final 3hr leg home. There were some other RV folks doing the same thing.
We have a friend with a 4-seater Tiger who has already agreed to take us back out to KABI on Tue when the wx is forecast to be VFR. The weather was rain and 200' overcast all the way back in the car. 40min flight...no biggie.
Good decision to stop and we all had a great time laughing and cutting up in the car...better than the alternative <g>.
OK, some pics:
The Garmin 496 rocks in auto mode!!! Danny had the XM WX on his and it made this so much easier. We never got in a situation that we didn't have 10 options out of.
Much stuff to type up and lots of pics to process. Prizes to mail out. Things around the house to do <g>.
Hope everyone who got to come had as much fun as we did!
Best,
Doug
