Of course we start out with the trip. 735CF which I was often getting confused with 756TK en route...
We took Faas and MJ. I was the meany making them weigh everything for the flight. After some checks, we would have been at max gross wt departing with 60 gallons of fuel required to get all the way to Ames KAMW. We arrived at the plane and it had less fuel. Good and bad. I could get fuel to make it, but warm weather etc not great flying at gross wt. Or stop on the way.
We decided to stop along the way in Columbus and parked on the ramp. Unique that during take off I heard the hint of the stall alarm suggesting we were tail heavy... We moved one bag ~25lbs from the trunk to the back of the front seats and gained about 4kts. Talking to some folks that stopped there in a similar 182 from Platte Valley (Denver) and heard the weather hadn't cleared as expected.
I filed IFR for the final leg /g. Karyn's first IFR with me. No problem, flew just at the tops until descending, I was able to get 2500 feet VFR underneath so we cancelled and buzzed Boomers house. He wasn't home AGAIN!
The next morning it was time to start cooking!
We should take some time to golf while we're waiting...
Yes I did eventually hit the silos... But I lost some money while practicing! It's not like I golf more than once every 4 years!
And the shirts
As the party started it was time for the airshow, No... I was on the ground...
The Nadas!
Scotty came out from Nebraska for the party!
Somehow the day after always has a party wrapped up inside... The morning post breakfast cleanup time...
And we get to review the Lost and Found. I must say not as good as last year!
We stuck around for a fire the next night, another good time!
