| I couldn't resist the sunshine and nice temps today, so I pulled on my boots and headed for the field. The snow was pretty nice. There were large smooth areas even tho someone had driven on the runway. Anyway, "Lily's plane" fired up quickly and flew well. It WAS a little bit breezy, and the wind was very changeable, blowing down the runway then reversing itself, then blowing from behind me. It felt like it could go from zero MPH to gusts over 20, and the plane was showing it up in the air. After a nice flight, I landed smoothly and cut the motor, packed it in and headed home. Bring on the spring!
Things of least use to a pilot: fuel on the ground runway behind you altitude above you |
