Part 67.
William Boyd is doing good and still producing series. He invited us (Glen and I) to his private jet port 12VA for casting. Weather was perfect as usual. A little beating was expected from the surface to 11K. I snacked somewhere in the woods of PA and launched on 2.5 hour leg to VA.

After hour 2 and a half in moderate + chop my head was shaking and teeth clanking. If somebody saw me at that time would have easily thought I escaped from an institution... Somewhere here is the jetport. Anybody on the frequency? Hopalong? Russki abeam the ball!

Bill responded on the radio and literally guided me through. Here we go on a slice of paradise. Sometimes it feels nicer to be on the ground.
