Got out to 52F Wednesday to say hi to the RV-6 and eat lunch with airplane friends before a busy rest of the week. While at Monk’s got eyes on a -4 in for an annual. The easy access of the RV-4 is just amazing. I got 3 pics just because.

As I said when I left Page I flew to Phoenix/Goodyear to visit a club member doing flight training there, then on the same day on towards Tucson to see Pima Museum. This was suggested by John and I initially was hesitant. But his suggestions are always good with infos how and where. I just followed his advice, booked a hotel beside the airport and next day went to the museum. The museum is huge with many many airplanes inside and outside. It is hot in July but the outside exhibition has to be done.
Next day destination was Oklahoma with one fuel stop inbetween. Had to wait a long time on the ground in Tucson, two airplanes in front of me and quite some F-16s landed and taxiied in. I just choosed a place with no weather. In Tucson during late evening the wind refreshed significantly and I could see CBs in the vicinity. I went to the airport again to make sure everything is alright with the plane. Today onwards with another fuel stop to Illinois Valley. I wanted to land at Oshkosh Thursday or Friday, but wherever I look for another stop there is one day with CBs. So now it looks like tomorrow is the day for Oshkosh, intend to land there before the weather and let it pass, the next days are looking better. If I stay in Illinois Valley the weather will be here also but for the then following flight to Oshkosh there are low ceilings forecasted for Thursday. I hope I will make the right choice.

Another extended weekend trip
The school was on the way, not the slightest detour. A wildfire developed northwest of the school, large cloud, could smell it. The fog at LAX and Torrance disappeared so could fly as planned. Torrance temps at 23C, very nice after having 33C at Buchanan. Over LAX
