Bill's Flying Adventures - 2007

Not as many hours as 2006 and no real long cross-countries but still a great flying year.  I enjoyed one of my better soaring years and broke all my altitude, distances and duration records on one great flight  -- in July of all months (not usually known for good soaring conditions).  I enjoyed some great Fall flying.  Our airport, Essex Skypark, was liberated from the ADIZ.  I flew an All Grass All Day with the Trunk Monkeys on the eastern shore.  Then Bruce and I flew a cross-country to Dayton, Ohio to visit the Air Force Museum, which was great.  We also flew the Hudson River corridor; flying alongside Manhatten is always awesome.  We sold the beloved Citabria at the end of the flying season.  At the end of the year I got a few hours in one of the all time great planes -- the Piper Cub.
