Default An All Around Great Day!

Today's weather in Moriarty wasn't much for long flights but my day headed

in a different direction anyway. Today I completed my checkout in my new

(to me) Pipistrel Sinus 912, a 15 meter touring motorglider, registered

Experimental, Exhibition and Racing. After getting my logbook endorsed, I

made another 3 takeoffs and landings solo before my wife arrived.



As we were heading out to the plane, we stopped by the gas pump to look at

the low wing motorglider sitting at the pump. What to my surprise but to

meet Eric G. on his way to Washington from Florida! We had lunch together

and then each took off and went our separate ways.



A good day... I got 3 hours and 12 landings. Tomorrow, I'm taking my wife

up again early in the morning and then I have a full schedule of towing. My

LAK will be sleeping until Friday.


Excellent. Congrats Dan.
