They recently bought a Winnebago View RV so they too have now joined the ranks of us land-yacht owners! We have boating history as we met these two awesome humans at our marina in Anacortes many moons ago. Our hiking buddies Laurie and Tom Miller joined us for the week. Despite Wallys emergency dental surgery in Arizona, this year the stars aligned and we made it there with no detours.
The last time we planned to visit CRNP in spring 2017 it snowed… heavily, so a quick change of plans were in order and we headed to sunny Lake Powell instead. We love traveling during the shoulder seasons despite the sometimes unpredictable weather.
Chimney Rock in Capitol Reef National Park CRNP did not fail to deliver and for hikers this national park provides some outstanding and strenuous hikes with amazing vistas. We finally made it to Capitol Reef National Park for more than a day and this was our last Utah NP to explore. Five amazing National Parks, lush green valleys, vast plains and beautiful mountains. Unknown Voice: “That doesn’t sound good.Utah is one of my favorite states from the scenic point of view. Laredo Tower: “Citation 1234, we are waiting for your release from Mexico.” I taxied up to the runway to announce ready for takeoff: I was departing Laredo International Airport for a flight to Porta Vallarta, Mexico. I guess I got lucky that day.Ī good lesson to know thy limitations before the flight. I also didn’t realize my TKS deicing fluid has a temp limitation of -37 degrees C. I did not know then, but it was -39 degrees C up there on this cold day and I didn’t realize it at the time but the Cirrus airframe (2019 22T) has a temp limitation of -40 degrees C. Center called me out to descending traffic and then said, “Really? Wow, that’s some Cirrus.” On a trip in February from San Diego, California to Caldwell, Idaho I was at FL240 to clear some weather over the Northern Sierra’s.
Willingly jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.”īradley: “Believe me, if you saw Jump 2, you’d want to jump out of it.” I was flying an Angel Flight in Bradley International Airport’s airspace when a jump plane contacted the controller:īradley: “I do jumps at your facility and understand the confusion.” No response from Center but l imagined they were having a good laugh like l was. Los Angeles Center: “Shooter One One, you have an RJ at your 12 o’clock, five miles and a 1000 feet below, opposite direction.”Ĭenter: “RJ123 you have a single F-18 at your 12 o’clock, five miles and a 1000 feet above, opposite direction.” Returning from Montgomery Field, California, to my home field of Boulder City, Nevada, l was north of Palm Springs when l overheard this exchange: A short conversation then ensued about how the controller is a big Rush fan. The airliner must’ve answered correctly (I was on a different frequency, and could only hear the controller), as he indeed was cleared direct to GEDDY. Recently I was flying over southwestern Virginia on an Angel Flight mission, and I overheard the following:Ĭenter: “Airliner 123, I’ll clear you direct GEDDY if you can tell me who it’s named after.”

The ROLLN 2 arrival into Cleveland- Hopkins International has some notable fixes, such as ROLLN, STOHN, JANYS, JPLIN, plus a few others. I could see the other pilots on the taxiway laughing. Please stay on the line and your call will be handled in the order in which it was received.” Ground Control: “Treasure 12345, Stuart Ground. We then heard this exchange:įlight School: “Stuart Ground, Treasure 12345 requesting to conduct pattern work with touch and go’s, mixed with some stop and go’s.”
Once we landed and taxied off of the runway, we switched over to ground control. We were sequenced at number 3 for landing. On the return flight, we noticed that the Stuart traffic seemed heavier than usual, with continuous departures and arrivals of commercial and private flights. On this particular day, the weather was picture perfect for flying. It is also a port of entry, and there is a large flight school located here. Stuart is a fairly busy airport, located in southeast Florida between Palm Beach and Vero Beach. We are based at Witham Field, Stuart, Florida.
