i'm still prepping...
not to mention,
the wife has invited friends over
for the nationwide race today.
i wonder if anyone would notice
if i wasn't there?
 
i can't stand it anymore...
i've got to, at least,
do a shakedown flight.

RPMT-RPMD
in the AS Boston Mk.III
 
well, i had company coming over,
so i didn't want to start a long flight.

just for the halibut,
i decided to go out on a test flight
following the to WABB course.

i figured i could quit as soon as company arrived.

i joined the multi-player session
on the SOH Server for no apparent reason.

along the way...zing,
another Boston shot past me.
WHAT THE....
it was DangerousDave!
he wasn't in a Boston,
but that's what my game showed.
very cool.

he asked if i was heading for CV-3
or just going to fly over.
fortunately, i had installed it earlier today,
so i tuned to 109.5 and in a few minutes, got the signal.

i decided, what the heck,
and dropped down for a low pass
and then a little touch and go.

then i climbed and continued on for WABB,
worrying about fuel for way too long.

about 80 miles out of WABB, company arrived,
but, me, being the rude *** that i am,
decided to finish the flight.
wife came down to tell me they were here
and i said, i'll be up in a few minutes.

i finished out the flight
and when i went upstairs.
huh, there was no one there,
except for a half empty bowl of guacamole,
a beer and 4 laps left in the nationwide race.
i am most likely in deep doo doo,
but for now, life is good.

i guess i'll wait until early am tomorrow
to make the official duenna flight to WABB.
i know there won't be company at 02:00
 
That's cool smilo! Was that DangerousDave taking off from the ship in that screen shot?
 
well, i'm finally ready to do this; :jump:

yesterday, i installed Lawdog's A-20 sound files.

holy ravioli, what a marked improvement
over the "energized" DC-3 sounds.
i could sit and listen to this baby idle all day.

down safe at WAJJ

well, that was fun...
i've got to get the film
over to the developer.
i hope the shots turned out
 
just got back from the developer.
careful, they're still wet.

yup, that's a big a$$ mountain
sitting just off the final approach.
i sure am glad it wasn't socked in.
that could get ugly real quick.
did i mention that the field is in a hole?
getting out will be tricky.
