I've been going through weather updates and long range forecasts for the last two weeks along with reviewing approaches and alternates for our flight. Sunday 9.17 We are getting Lucy's things together for her boarding. Prepping the dog food, favorite toys, happy pills, and some added meds to help her grooming before she comes home.

NBAA’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE, often just called “NBAA”) is the largest tradeshow event focused on business aviation. Having attended more NBAA’s than I care to admit, one thing I’ve learned for certain—whether you’re a first-time visitor or a grizzled vet, with a little planning, this show can be the most rewarding (and exhausting) three days of your life.

"It's not good when the mechanic says 'hmmm'," said the mechanic. Dealing with the Unexpected While trying to start Warrior Eight One Six that morning, a strange chirping sound rang out across the ramp from the engine compartment. "Boop, BOOP, BOOP !" Not able to see anything wrong from my vantage point outside the plane, I gestured to Scott to cut the engine and he pulled the mixture to idle. " BOOP , BOOP, boop," said the airplane as the propeller came to a stop.

Hey Friends, check out “Geiko & Escort,” one of my personal-favorite Down to Earth Fine Art Metal Prints, photographed in Kyoto’s renowned Gion District, Japan. Note this lady’s amazing details of makeup, dress and hair! I didn’t learn until afterward how fortunate I was to capture this photo. Geikos/Geishas are paid entertainers so they rarely allow random portraits shot on the street.
