… this weekend’s thread started. Performing side hustle duties all weekend, but it's a beautiful day here in N.TX. I suspect there is much RVating.
Kindest,

Drove to L18 to get the Cub
Flew the Cub from L18 to RIR for breakfast
Flew the Cub from RIR to RNM to get the RV, and as a bonus got to show some friends the Cub.
Flew the RV to OKB for fuel
The fog was rolling into OKB so I left quickly after getting fuel, and headed back to RNM
Put the RV back in the hangar
Flew the Cub back to L18
Overall, a pretty great day!

Why not? I thought this was an aviation forum that enjoys flying?
Because he COULD!
Usually when someone flies a route like that it's A drugs or B they are working on ATP mins

But, why? Why would you go to a fly-in?? Was it for drugs or ATP mins?

I guess you’ve never done a 1000 mile motorcycle ride in under 24 hours either…look it up it’s a thing…and yes I did that too. You can do endurance riding just like endurance flying and not for any specific reason other than to love flying.

Headed down to my first "fly in" event, O22's Father's Day fly in. It was great fun, and I was impressed at the size of the event and how organized it was. I look grouchy in the picture because I had just made a terrible approach to land and decided to go around, didn't realize I had a big audience on the ground watching my tomfoolery.

GREAT Pictures Mike! Your Passenger in heavy Coat & Hoody, You in "Water Island" Hat & T-Shirt, all while outside the Canopy: SNOW Capped Mountains in background. True Adventurers!
Looks like you are over Flaming Gorge of Utah.
Yeah, still chasing down cold air inflow from the back. The 787 comfort has spoiled her. If she'd only get her SEL add on and T/W sign off, she could enjoy the comfort of the front seat.
I've got an airline pilot friend who's lost his medical. Hopefully not forever, but in the interim, it's been rough for him. He's in the heart of the FAA's aeromedical meat grinder and things are looking bleak.
But he's a fan of Oregon kitplanes and Savannah bizjets, so what better medicine than hopping in an RV-6 and flying up to work for a tour of the jets? Afterward, we departed for lunch at the Waypoint Cafe in Camarillo. Stellar lunch experience there, as always...
...until it was time to leave. We were maybe number 15 in line and the tower was getting one plane out about every five minutes. You can do the math. He said the delay was worse than Airventure. I haven't been, so I can neither confirm nor deny. But I've never seen Foreflight's track log recording feature time out and shut itself off before. "Well obviously you're not going flying!"
Eventually we made it to the front of the line and had a very pleasant flight home, but boy I got a good look at exactly how hot the oil and CHTs get during an extended ground delay.

Love these airplanes!! How much time did that take?
10.3 plus ground time, 12:33 total. Old men pee slow...
And I did some sightseeing on the way to Billings. The Great Wall, in Montana. The wind was blowing more than 25 from the west. Nice tailwind, but way too rough to fly low, so I had to be satisfied with viewing from afar.
