Week 27 (6 - 12 Aug 06)

Sunday, 6-Aug... our return trip from Patrick AFB to Pax River. It was pretty much a get up and go kinda morning, in order to beat some forecast bad weather enroute. I think we launched around 11 am or so. The transient aircraft line guys were great. One of them snapped this pic of us just before we strapped in.

Our planned route was to land at Shaw AFB to get gas, but weather forced us to divert to, again, Charleston AFB. After a much longer than anticipated stay there, we launched and recovered back here at TPS around 3-ish. What a great weekend! Another T-38 flight for another 1.8 hours, AND Kirby let me fly most of it again!

Now, on to actual school...
The boring week. Weather turned shitty so we didn't fly a whole lot. I DID get to fly the U-6A (Beaver) on Monday with Craig Nixon and NoNo, for our Lat-Dir demo. A 2.4 hour flight in a fun airplane. This flight had been cancelled twice before due to engine issues, but today, the flight went smooth...
