I'm really enjoying the stories and photos from those who are reporting from MV or still enroute home. Great adventure.
Yesterday, I flew the Allegro out to visit Bob Bean and see how his doors were coming on his Mk III. As I've done many many times, I landed on his airstrip (cow pasture w/o cows) that the NE end abuts and overlooks I-90. My approach from the NE was normal which put me fairly low over the interstate and I landed with no problems, as usual. Bob and his dog Jack were waiting for me so we walked back to his basement to see the Mk III. His doors are going to be a very nice flying season extender. Too bad you all can't see his workmanship up close because none of the photos do it justice.
Anyway, when we walked back up to the cow-strip, a young NY State Trooper was inspecting the Allegro. Apparently, a trucker on the interstate thought I had crash landing or done an emergency landing and called the constables. After giving him IDs (he needed them for his report) and assuring him all was well I took off and headed home.
Not an adventure by MV standards but sitll an unusual occurence, at least for me. Bob and I are looking forward to meeting as many of you as go to Homer's next month.
