Dammit. Three months into the new year an no posts? What's up with that? Not a whole lot of actual flying for me recently, but that's about to change.
December was the ICAS convention in Vegas. That's were the whole air show family gets together to plan out the next year. The Federal budget is wreaking havoc on the air show industry, causing cancellations of all military support and many, if not most, big air shows on bases. Sad state of affairs.
Other than some fun IAC, WPA and PSAAC club meetings, only one other notable event. Attended the Northwest Council of Air Shows (NWCAS) the first weekend in March. Got to climb into the cockpit of the Shuttle Trainer and get a personal tour by John Creighton. That along with a great presentation earlier in the day on U-2 operations by "Huggy" Huggins made for a very educational day!
Next up is the annual Condition Inspection for the Eagle. Then Paine Field Aviation Day and Acro Camp in May.
See you in the pattern!
