Got the boys together for their first family picture.




Check out the new tailwheel fairing on the RV-3. I just got around to installing it a couple of days ago.

What's that old aviation adage..."If it looks right, it is right"?
That looks great, Rod!

Learned a LOT while turning wrenches replacing my prop governor, a significant amount by just searching this forum. Who knew such a powerful beast had been running around improperly powered for 20 years and 450 hours. Hat tip to @Taltruda for the 2 1/3 rds clockwise turn gouge.

I love the educational aspect of owning an EAB. Had this been for a Piper Arrow, I could’ve spent a lot of money on labor for possibly an incorrect solution, and been none the wiser.

Landed at three new airports one in Montana 6S1 and two in Wyoming KTOR and U68. Washed the airplane.

I got to give two kids their first Young Eagles ride at EAA chapter 14 on Saturday.

Crossed 1500 TT while transiting the MSP Bravo on the way to "up north" with my wife. (Anyone need a pilot?)
Earlier in the week, landed at my 300th unique airport.


Later in the weekend, ATC vectored over the top of MSP on both legs of a burger run...that makes 3 times in 19 years...

Tillamook Oregon to Wenatchee WA to visit my bro. Nice trip over the Cascades.

Visibility was incredible. At one point we could see:
Baker
Rainier
St. Helen’s
Adams
Hood
Jefferson
Washington
Three Sister

Basically the entire Cascade Range of Washington down to Central Oregon. Very pretty flight.

Kneeboard notes from a test flight - one of those "realistic distractions" they teach you about in CFI school...

Had a few views of the ongoing central Texas floods while out flying. Tough times for all those affected. Donate to your local relief agency, as you're able.

Spent a great weekend with KC Flight at the 2025 Ft Wayne Airshow in Indiana. The Indiana Air Guard F-16 Black Snakes were truly impressive in their above and beyond efforts as outstanding hosts. Below are a couple pics and videos from the show. A lot of work goes into putting an airshow together and this one wouldn’t have happened without the extra effort by Keith “Pedlar” Vassey who handled all the logistics and made it happen and our illustrious Flight Lead Todd “Tinker” Nichols that did not disappoint, a class act those guys…..

One of the highlights of our weekend was the formation with the B-25 “Miss Mitchell”, now that was a pretty exciting experience that will not soon be forgotten.
