Joseph and I flew down to visit Aunt Michelle, Uncle Ben, and Taylor last weekend. After taking off and getting to cruising altitude, I taught Joseph a little bit about flying the airplane straight and level. He piloted the airplane on his own more than half of the flight. I was very impressed with him. He held altitude within 25 feet and heading ( Read more... )

I flew down to Laurel Saturday morning. It was a perfect flight. I had a tailwind and the air was smooth. I didn't hit one little bit of turbulence. When I arrived Michelle and Taylor were waiting for me. Taylor ran out to the airplane to see me ( Read more... )

I led song at one of the Church of Christ services this morning. When I volunteered I had no idea I would be leading 600 people in worship to God. It was quite an experience. After the service I went back to my tent to relax for a bit and made it to my exhibit area about 12:30PM. I took my laptop to the exhibit so I could upload all the photos I've ( Read more... )

Today I relaxed a little. I woke up late (around 8:00am) and ate a leisurely breakfast.

I woke up this morning at 6:00AM (naturally!) and ate a good breakfast of sausage, eggs, cereal, and a banana. About 8:45AM, I realized I had left my lunch tickets on the bus the night before. It was very dark on the seat and I just missed them. Luckily, the bus I got on to take me back to the registration area was being driven by one of the guys ( Read more... )

I knew I had a long flight ahead of me today, farther than I've ever flown my plane. So, I allowed myself to sleep in this morning to make sure I had plenty of rest. I woke up about 8:30AM and finished packing. Jonathan took me to the airport (he is on leave so he came to Oxford to see me and Mom since she is also visiting). I was wheels up about ( Read more... )
