Got home at 1530 yesterday.
Flight from Larry Cottrell's took 5 days again this year because of weather.
Flew 1/2 day Monday to Brigham City, UT. RON with Boyd Young.
Second day over the Rockies to Laramie, WY. Line boy refused to let us
sleep in the FBO so we sprung for a motel. However, we did get a car to
keep overnight.
Third day it was 33F at Laramie with ice on the airplanes. John Bickham and
I flew our separate ways out of Great Bend, OR, and I made it into Neosho,
MO. Weather was bad on arrival with low ceilings and rain.
Did not improve Day 4, Thursday, so I took a day off and relaxed in a good
FBO with shower, TV, and computer. Another couple had been weathered in
since Monday and they had the old courtesy car, but Billie Sallee, airport
manager, lent me his personal vehicle to go to town for chow.
Day five was beautiful, but woke up to ground fog. However, the fog had
disipated by the time I got loaded up and ready to take off. I flew 547 sm
in 5+55 with two fuel stops.
During the 18 day flight I flew 60.2 hours.
4,800 miles (aprx) I accidentally deleted the mileage from the GPS trip
odometer. When I get time I will add up the mileage in the GPS pilot log.
300 gals fuel (aprx) I need to take time to add up the actual fuel burn in
my notebook.
Airplane performed flawlessly. She now has 2,957.5 hours on the airframe
and 389.0 on the 912ULS. All I did was put gas in her, check her oil, clean
her windshield with Plexus, and fly.
60.2 hours in 18 days averages out to 3.4 hours a day, although I did not
fly nearly every day.
It was a fantastic flight, especially being able to enjoy it with my flying
friends.
Monument Valley could not have been better. I think it was the best yet.
They keep getting better every year.
