Home safe

Lana and I had a great time. It was great meeting new folks and seeing old acquaintances.
We totaled 15.5 hours total with 3.5 actual IFR for the trip.

Mary and I bugged out around 4:30 and arrived safely at home in OCMD at 3:30. An 11 hour ground pound, sure missed having a chance to fly.

Both my bride and I had fun! Great meeting new people and putting faces to the screen names. We both look forward to meeting up in Florida this winter with a few members. Chris and Lana thanks for being so welcoming, much appreciated.

Shout out to Bill for putting together a wonderful event.

one hour and ten minutes and I was home, then the daily chores began. It was a great meeting and as usual I did learn a lot. Thanks to all that did the work putting this together. I know it is a lot of work.

Life is a barrel of fun.

Finally home today. Just in time since our local wx is going down the tubes with convective stuff starting tonight. Suffered a seized starter armature trying to depart Sunday morning. Seven hour roundtrip drive between Augusta and Atlanta to retrieve a replacement from Spruce on Monday. Man, do I hate driving around Atlanta…

Great maintenance crew at Augusta Aviation. Bit of a job getting to starter to replace it since it is snuggled behind the dual alternator idler pulley bracket. At least, had a opportunity to inspect and verify both alternator belts are in good shape. Airplanes, while wonderful time machines, are always an adventure.

Fun getting to see everyone at the fly-in. Hope to see more at the next get together. The committee is working on possibilities/suggestions for next year’s venue. We are looking for a spot central US like MO, AR, etc. Recommendations?

Had a great time, once again. We appreciate all of the behind the scenes ground work that goes into these events.
Made it home in about 5 hours, quick fuel stop in Lexington. 2 hours of IMC, and dodging convective stuff.
Thanks again to all, my dad and I had a great time.

Glad to hear that you got it fixed, even if you did have to drive to Atlanta I felt bad taxing out with y'all stuck on the ramp. Lana and I really enjoyed seeing y'all.

Glad you are home safe. Driving north was bad enough but driving in Atlanta had to really stink.
