It was a fun hangar-flying session, right up until one of the local instructors got serious for a moment. The pilot wrote that there was a rough air and a possible wake turbulence encounter. I would prefer to be 5 or 10 knots slower than the barber pole (maximum indicated airspeed in a turbine airplane) or red line.

Caught in series of up and down drafts, the autopilot pitched the Warrior aggressively to maintain altitude and the indicated airspeed trended too high in each updraft. I asked him teasingly. Tired, remember?) "Yep,"
