You can hear the stall horn beeping

… all the way around ;^)



95F in the Central Valley today. Oil temp 200F

Fun fact: because I’m 40 lbs heavier, I’m at a higher alpha than the guy with the stall horn on!

It was so nice out I wondered if you were flying

Nioce!

Thanks. Here’s the kid flying a formation hammerhead on me.



The desert southwest is really feeling like home now.

PS that was taken right next to the guys who did the L39 contract flying for the last Top Gun movie. I think they did Tom Cruise’s L39 type rating - didn’t he take some late night show host for a flight in one of their L39’s?

Here are the Boys From Byron:





L39 is kind of an unusual airplane in Canada - we were the only weirdos that flew L39’s in Canada - but popular here. Elon Musk bought one.

We got a lot of hate in Canada for the L39's. Don't miss that.

If you overnight at SFO let me know - I’ll pick you and your four bar up and we can have a BBQ and you can meet the dogs, play with the guns and ride the motorcycles.

It’s a tough life here but I guess someone has to do it.

In the meantime, be sure and solo your kid when he turns 14. In a taildragger. Later, he will take great videos of you flying. :^)

I’ll have to take you up on that next time I have a decent layover.

Earlier today, Eric makes it look easy.



That's some nice station keeping!
