My last (?) trip with Whiskyblue...

Post by 170dreams »

You all know that Whiskyblue is for sale, but until she's sold I want to enjoy my bird as much as possible.

Opening the hangar door, looking at my bird and imagining the next trip always creates a warm, fuzzy feeling - even though the coming adventure will be our last one.

A bit of nostalgia set in: heading east to visit a place I landed at during my first trip with Whiskyblue five years ago.

Time flies - and so did I.

After a short trial run up to New Hampshire and Maine I took off last Friday heading west again.

Hello everybody,
I'm a little behind on my videos - or ahead on my flying...
Anyway, tomorrow and Tuesday I plan to visit Trigger Gap and Richland Creek in the Ozarks.

If anybody is out and about, shoot me an email, would love to meet up.

After that I'll most likely go to the Beech Party at the Beech Heritage Museum in Tullahoma. See you there?
