Leavin’ on a… itty bitty airplane
June 25th, 2010I got to go out flying with Peter earlier this week. He took me down to fly around one of my favorite places in the world: Bull Valley, where I spend a lot of time camping and pretending like I’m hunting. We got to fly around Mary’s Nipple and get a totally new perspective on a very familiar landmark for me. We had planned a much longer flight, but the first airplane we got into wasn’t sounding quite right, and that is not something we were willing to chance, so we bailed on that one and got in a different plane. We got to the end of the runway and tried to takeoff and the engine wouldn’t get up to speed and we could barely get rolling down the runway. So we aborted that one as well and went back to park it. By that time, the techs had found out what was wrong with the first plane and had it fixed up, so we moved all our gear back to the original plane and finally got on our way. It was a fun time with about 3 hours in the air, and then we went and had dinner and talked for a couple hours. Thanks, Pete.
