Winter Flying

I went flying on Friday – WOW, how incredibly wonderful it is to be so free and experiencing the virile thrill of flying such an incredible airplane.  The power – the sound - the sights – an incomparable experience.

It was cold out, about zero Celsius, but I was nice in warm in the Waco with the heat cranking and the front cockpit cover on.  I was flying our new demo airplane N818JB.  Departure was west, then north towards Gull Lake.  I flew up the lake; much lower then I should have, over my dad’s house, then west to Jim’s grass strip.   The crisp air was crystal clear – visibility unlimited.  On the way back to Battle Creek, just some light aerobatics then back onto 23 Left.   The pattern was empty, so I landed very long, exiting at Bravo for the Waco Ramp.
