One of the stated reasons for building the -9A was to use it to see my family that is mostly in Indiana. Well this weekend, my intrepid co-pilot and rivet placer saw a huge high pressure area over the midwest. This meant a chance to head east to see Grandma and also go tailgating at the Notre Dame - Georgia Tech game.
We left bright and early Friday morning. FS told us clear and unlimited visibility, with some fog in the valleys of Wisconsin. The plan was to go high (7500) and skirt south of the lake. KANE-KJOT-KEKM. Kate was running the camera.
The awesome tower guys at Anoka set us up with Flight Following on the ground.
It took Kate all of 10 min to get some shut eye
Shore 'nuff there was fog in them valleys - Lacrosse was fogged in.
Kate woke up for snacks - her XM choice was Radio Disney
Chicago from the south, 7500ft just outside the Bravo
Only clouds we saw the whole trip
Made it from Minne to South Bend in 409nm, 2.8 hours, 16 gallons. Cleaned the bugs and off to lunch with grandma!
