Hello Chums...

Decided to take a short flight from Funny Farm (4CA2) to Oakdale (O27) via Stockton Metro (KSCK)

great set of shots and a cool story to go with them 8-)

As I'm chugging along at 21,000msl in this demon beast of a B337 (posting from a laptop that doubles as a sectional library).. trying to keep 224 spark-plugs from fouling.. and 112 cylinder heads from over-heating.. and four supercharger from melting down... and four carbs from icing up.... trying to figure out where I am by straight-edge and sectional chart, and what little of the ground I can make out through the cloud layer below me....and trying to keep five fuel tanks reasonably balanced....


That C152 and 5 mile visibility, and a relaxing lunch... sure does look appealing

NIce shots I like the story

and Brett Flying that B337 will send you to the funny farm

Fozzers Tip....If the weather is Naff...stay on the ground!

And stick with four wheeled vehicles....

I miss warm weather, and being able to ride my motorcycle....

Ta for the comments, Chaps... ...!

I may be getting paranoid in my Old Age, but after some 10 + years of daily chuffing around California in my (very) small Piston Prop aircraft, I realise that I am get more and more aware of the dangers of adverse weather conditions on my Private, General Aviation flights around the State... ...!

I am constantly observing changes in Cloud types and heights, wind speed and direction, outside air temperatures and humidity levels...

...and that's even before I take off!... ... ... ...!

Whilst in flight, it occupies a considerable amount of my time, remembering to apply Carburettor heat BEFORE

Nice weather for IFR Paul

very nice Paul. very seldom do we see you post here, but it's quite nice and relaxing when you do

Indeed good to see you here Paul! Sweet shots, especially the first

To bad you didn't post any McDonalds shots
