… getting this week's thread started.
Friday was my 40th high school reunion down in Waco, so I flew the RV down there from Dallas (35min), and Eddie from Jag Aviation (FBO) drove me to where everyone was gathered (Uber wanted $60). I bought gas .
Visited some old friends, caught up on some memories and flew back home around 11 PM for an easy night landing on 35. The AeroLEDs landing light upgrade a couple years back was appreciated.
Got to sleep in my own bed and didn’t have to spend four hours on the road round-trip. Autopilots are pretty neat. VNAV too.
Spent a good long while during the events on Friday talking to the husband of a girl that I’ve known literally all my life - grew up one street over. He’s interested in building an airplane. Guess what we talked about? I did work in, "However hard you think it will be, it will be ten times harder." All the hard work makes for a nice traveling platform, though. Love this RV.
About to leave on Friday…
The route:
On the ramp at KPWG (McGregor, TX). Where I got my first airplane ride as a kid - circle of life and all that.
The single pic I took. The girl with the long blonde hair and black shirt on the far right sat on our couch in college and broke it (there were 8 other people on it already, to be fair, and it was a pretty rotten couch).
Headed back home after three glasses of tea and a burger. Got to sleep in my own bed.
(and then I did it again on Saturday. Link: https://vansairforce.net/community/showthread.php?p=1718617 )
