Remember when....

I've been doing a lot of cleanup in the shop the last week, no sense posting photos of me pushing a broom around. The paint booth won't be ready until mid-June, so I've been going over things that I've always meant to get back to improving or finishing or making better, mixing them in with the things that have to be done to get her flying this year, and trying to come up with a plan. We're getting there....


A special moment yesterday. Leaving for Osaka our flight plan followed the coastline north up to Pt. Arena before turning westbound. In the foreground is Dillion Beach, where I had my first solo in a red and yellow Wills Wing Super Lancer hang glider named Betsy in 1987, in the distance is Bodega Bay, where I waited tables at night for 10 years while I chased the dream. Never in my wildest fantasies did I ever think I'd see it all from a brand new 787 at FL380.
