Hey congratulations Kevin!  Glad it went well.  I had mine up long enough to warm the oil for an oil change.  I hope to get at least one more oil change before the FOD!  I need to fly more!!

Happy New Year! Or so it seems. FINALLY got in my first flight today!
Nearly 50°F with an inversion. Didn’t use the cabin heat. Tried it for a while, but got too hot!!
Two weeks ago the high on Sunday was -5°F. This is much better. Supposed to be in the high 50’s next week.

TO on 29 was as usual with wind 280 at 5. Climb out was great. 1000FPM at 120 mph. Crystal clear above the haze layer, about 3000’MSL.
Did maneuvers and steep turns to get re-aquanted with the old girl.
Perfect day!!

Back to AP for LDG. I only hope I can continue to land like that one. If it were any better it would have been prefect.
Big smile. Had a Cirrus on my tail so I cleared the runway quickly, all good.

So I finally made it into the log book for 2021!
1.4 hours, one landing. I'm still not current, but what the hell, I will fix that soon!   

Fly um if you got um!!
If not get your ass to work!!!
