May 8:
I got to watch this little piece of history: https://youtu.be/slCANaejPCM

then sat down to breakfast, rigged and watered my own ship, took off nearly 3 hours later at a leisurely 09:47 local and flew 1240K myself. Next year I'll go earlier!

June 17:
763K out of little old Post Mills, VT, including a 600K declared triangle. You don't know what's possible unless you go out and try....

All season: watching a bunch of club mates climbing the XC learning curve fast and going far.

Dessert: Hopping rides in the back of the L-19 at Mt Washington on a glassy smooth, gloriously blue (and red, and gold day). I was making 6000' tows to the summit and took the opportunity to turn a bunch of newcomers onto aviation on a beautiful New England Fall day. Smiles, all around.
