With Vince now an official "Student Pilot" he did his own pre-flight and I will say it was very thorough. We did find one loose screw on one of the access covers under the left wing. We have 30 gallons on board and were ready to head south east, VFR.
The winds at 3000 |
On course |
The correction required! |
"hand painted" Make-A-Wish Yak 50 aircraft, looks like sponsored by Dassault and Rockwell Collins

After walking the line and taking some pictures we decided it was time to head home. Vince had flown to Cape May and then to Millville, I flew the last leg home. We taxied in and came to a stop just outside the red eagle hangar.
all clean!! |
Vince has video, I'll get that posted later today.

Very nice. Wind was really blowing today, but as I was WORKING I could see a lot of planes up there flying. Maybe Monday!
Yes, the Winds made for some interesting landings. At least the plane is clean for the Alabama trip.
The shots of 08R airborne are nice, who took them? (I assume that you were flying and do not suffer some some physically-manifested personality dissociation disorder).
As for you finding a screw loose, I will refrain from making any obvious snarky comments about the pilot... ;-)
Looks like a great day, hanging out with the warbirds. I really need a flying fix. Glad you got out to exercise your bird!
Chris, thanks, I almost choked on an orange popsicle when I read your post. Still laughing.
The photos were taken by a coworker, Joe Clemete, he has an impressive collection of aircraft. I'm glad he got a few of me yeaterday.
As for the screw loose and pilot, well, that depends on what day and who you ask.
Good stuff, thanks for the laugh. Don't you have a IR test to study for? ;)
Gary - Point well taken! :-)
Nice shots of 08R!
Though I think the B-25 still does a slightly better job classing up the ramp... :)
