RV-7 Hobbs: 2,241 hours Tach: 2,025
2024 started off strangely but ended up a good flying year. I lost a good friend and a favorite Uncle. Spring didn't bring good flying weather. The Key Bridge collapsed after behing hit by a powerless container ship. I flew down to Jackson, Mississippi for a funeral. I flew down to Winter Haven, Florida and earned my seaplane rating at Jack Brown's. I put lots of hours on the RV-10 project which culminated in hanging the engine at the end of the year. A lot of flying was just short breakfast/lunch hops. But in August, I made a long cross-country flight I've been thinking about and planning for a long time: to and from Alaska! Then during a four-week stretch in October we enjoyed perfect flying weather every day.
