After all of our awful weather, the clouds parted, the sun emerged, and
the
winds calmed, as they always do after a major winter storm in the
Midwest...


After the weeks of flying over a muddy, lifeless landscape, it was if we
had
passed through some portal, into a wondrous and different world.

Sadly, few of our fellow pilots were there to witness the show. Traffic
was
sparse, as so many fair-weather pilots have apparently stowed their gear
for
the winter.

Their loss.

We were up there flying over south central WI. 1000 fpm at gross with 100
hp, cruise was well into the yellow. The other advantage is no bugs!
