Tidbits

Checking weather.com the 10 day forecast is rewarding me with a bright sun for the next scheduled flight down to KTOA. It's the same trip for the same client in the same plane, but this time one of my local clients who is a private pilot wants to tag along, to get the hang of flying into the LA bravo airspace. It'll be nice to have someone to hang out with on the trip. I'll introduce him to the required stop at Harris Ranch on the way home.

I had though of doing a year end round up post, but in the end it was just too dull to write. The basics are I flew more this year than I had in awhile. The trips were longer and the weather more diverse. I checked out on some new aircraft. I received my complex sign off. Plus, everything and everybody made it there in back in one piece.

Driving through the neighborhood with the kids during Christmas light season, I noticed that one of the houses had a distinctively aviation theme to it (Santa plane, big blow up Snoopy WWI ace). A couple of nights later on another Christmas drive around the block the owner and his wife were outside adjusting the displays for the neighborhood light contest. I pulled over and asked if he happened to be a pilot. Well, not just a pilot but he is alos building a Velocity RG in his garage.

(note: somehow I deleted the rest of this post when I tried to edit the velocity link, no saved copy so that's it for now.)
