Today’s Flight 2025
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2025 2:17 pm
When I started this thread I intended to start a new one every year. But then I was intensely busy working on my IVPT Rebuild last January and the same this year (updates forthcoming).
So, here’s our thread for 2025!
Sorry, not my Lancair “YET”, but an amazing sunset none the less! Pictures of our deviation coming home from Florida 2/4/25. We were at 6,000’ to avoid crazy headwinds and approaching Fort Wayne, realizing we needed to climb up to FL 180 over our Lake crossing, I checked winds at 18k and found them at 100 KNOTS ON OUR NOSE.
A quick math comparison showed we could stay at 6k, fly west of Chicago, and still make it home faster. An added benefit, an amazing sunset!
