Made it back safe and sound. Got to Oshkosh around 12:30, and went to The Charcoal Pit for burgers. Then went to the Avation Museum. Only got one digital pic, on my phone. Gotta get the rest developed. Yes, I have no real digital camera yet. Was too short o' notice to borrow one.
Just a shot of the fuel truck, cause o the emblem in the grill. The nose of the plane is in it, the pilot, BJ has his back to the camera. Ok...the one closer, the other is one of the instructors fueling. He's taking lessons at Iowa Central CC in Webster City.
Plane was a Piper Archer II. Nice little plane, seats 4, but makes an original VW Bug feel like a limo.
Try and get the pics developed tomorrow.
Flew across IA at 3500. But hit bumps in WI, had to climb to 5500. Then back to 3500 for the clouds...not instrument rated yet. Flew back at 6500.
rod86---There were visitors in the log at the museum from Perth.
68C15---Maybe next time. He has been to Sioux Falls airport before.
His now has 12 hours cross country with 2 airport stops. But he is gonna go see his sister in Denver for that one. 6 hours each way and will have to stop around Kearny. One trip to complete the requirement.
