CAVU except for cirrus clouds I will never top.

I am looking for some benign IMC time so I can maintain my IFR currency, can you send me some?

Heck, even flew 3 XC's this week, flew high and mighty and not even a volkswagan size cloud to be found. Not that this would keep my IFR current, but any IMC time is better then none :-)

Got to experience high performance numbers in my Slowdowner :-)

Wife and I flew a Cub from Kokomo to Noblesville yesterday with a
stiff South wind. Made 37 knots ground speed down, 92 back. Woulda
been faster to drive, but not nearly as fun.

You live in Kokomo? In the '70's I flew KC135's out of Grissom AFB. We
lived in Cassville, about halfway between Kokomo and Grissom.

My dad worked on the Pennsylvania/Penn Central, freight trains, his
standard route was between Columbus, OH and Logansport. Used to ride
with him on his trips. I still have early memories of sitting on a bar,
six years old, in Bunker Hill. When I was stationed at Grissom the same
bar became my major hangout.

Ah, memories... :)

My wife's parents will be coming to visit after xmas. I'm hoping the
weather cooperates and I can take my father-in-law for a spin in the Cub
or Champ. He'll get a kick out of overflying Grissom if they have the
tankers out on the ramp.

Cool. Have fun. I didn't realize there were still 135's there. When I
left the National Guard was flying A-37's and they were talking about
shutting down the base. But, I've been out of the loop for the last 30
years or so. :)

Scott,

Are you based @ OKK? I am up there all the time in the Mooney. Yea,
yesterday was a little windy but today seems even more so... I might
take a stroll out to the airport (UMP) after the football game and bore
some holes..

8I3, a little private grass strip just southwest of OKK. I've been
using OKK a lot lately to get crosswind proficient in tailwheel planes.

Bee-utiful in the Upper Midwest today. We flew to Janesville,
Wisconsin, to have lunch with Jim Burns, and hit 207 mph on the way up
-- and just 126 mph on the way back!

Windier than hell at altitude, but smooth as a baby's bottom above a
(relatively) low haze layer. It was a great day to fly!

(And NOW it's time for a coupla beers... ;-)
