OK Arrival

Normally I do not fly in hard IMC conditions, but a long trip from North Carolina to Oklahoma can sometimes bring unexpected weather into the flight path. The landing shown here was at KRNO, El Reno, OK after about six hours of flight time from the East Coast.

August 2024 – X09 Arrival

My first solo cross-country flight was from North Carolina to Texas to visit family.  This flight of firsts also saw my first low pass approach and first grass field landing.  All went well and the plane flew beautifully.  Many thanks to Rich and Nancy for their hospitality.

Every Journey Begins with a Single Step

Prior to starting any metal work on the RV-10 project, Michael and I had a memorable trip through Northern California and Oregon.  After attending the 2013 BMW Rally in Salem, OR, we did an 18 hour marathon back to LA.
