Long time readers know that Thanksgiving means flying. Yes it will also involves turkey and as a side note, "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly". We headed out this morning to the airport with glorious weather. My hangar door is still broken but the Jet Center was open until 3PM and they had the plane on the line waiting.
My daughter Samantha and her friend Tyler were my passengers and we headed out to sightsee and let Tyler get a feel for the plane. We cruised around South of the airport for a while practicing turns and generally enjoying the weather.
We stayed out for an hour and it flew by. Heading in we called the tower 13 South East. There was another plane inbound 10 miles out but a quick look showed they were moving around 80 knots and we were closer to 170. We soon had them in sight and by 4 miles we had zoomed past them.
We landed, turned off and taxied in before they touched down. Nothing like speed. The rest of the day will be devoted to eating. The non flying turkey is slowly roasting and we have all the fixings. Wishing one and all a happy, healthy and joyous holiday.
