Last time this year, unless there is serious Global Warming here.



It was in the mid 60's here today and light winds.  The high for the rest of the week will top out in the mid-40's.



Cut out of work early and went out the the hanger.  Fired up my FS for one last flight before it gets too cold.  



Wow, what a nice afternoon for flying.  Absolutely smooth air!  Came down for a couple of landings, it was great.  Hated to call it a season.



I need to be traveling for a few weeks and by the time that ends it will be too cold to fly in the open here.  I plan to do some work on her over the winter and while I am at it I plan to add the VG kit I have on my desk.



I really am glad that I was able to take advantage of the E-LSA rule window, N24989 flies really well, and I am looking forward to next summer already. 







I'll be on the sidelines standing by.



Fly safe,



Jim

I used to be sad on the last flight of the season to.....but then I moved to southern California.



Now I don't get that sad feeling anymore.    



Today its 78 degrees and on my walk I saw a couple ultralights buzzing around at 500' just enjoying the still air.



Power motivation to get my Ultrastar done ASAP.



The air is still in my area during the winter most days until about noon



Perfect for enjoying some casual flying around the country side going nowhere in particular.
