The weather is mucho hot and humid, and that tropical disturbance seems to have drifted back off of the gulf coast east of New Orleans and is expected to move westward towards us again... wonderful.
I took my dad up for a little over an hour this morning. Had to avoid the coast where the little showers like to pop up in the morning. The plane is really doing fine now; all the gremlins seem to have been exorcised at least for now. Flying at 5K or higher is the only break we get from the heat other than A/C .
We are still on for SERFI, pending the weather of course. I got us a hotel room for Saturday night. I plotted out the course line checked the landmarks, controlled airspace etc... looks like a pretty simple XC and the approach procedure at Evergreen is just normal CTAF communication with a few pattern stipulations. I'm hoping it works out to fly there because (A) it's more fun than driving and (B) it would be the longest flight I have ever made. I have been mostly a backyard pilot all my life. I never cared to rent a plane for a long or multi-day trip, and the only other plane I have owned is my ultralight.
