Pix of Wright Bros Memorial, Ocracoke Island, more...

Man,,,, Them are some real blue skies in the pics of the Wright
memorial.. How did ya get that lucky??- Hide quoted text -

It was a brisk, beautiful day, with a stiff wind (thankfully, right
down the runway) that Orville & Wilbur would have appreciated.

When you follow a high pressure system, you generally get nice, clear
skies! :-)

Jay... what really chokes you up is watching gliders ... sail planes.. land
on that grass at the base of the monument in 2003.. the final leg of a cross
country glider race..

As a well known bumper sticker says on the back of a glider trailer..

Thank you Wilbur and Orville..

Finally got 'round to putting together a webpage of photos from our
recent East Coast Barnstorming tour.

Here's one of Mary and me (with Atlas) at the Wright Brothers Memorial
in Kill Devil Hills, NC:

If you ever get a chance to fly there, take it -- for me it was like
visiting the Sistine Chapel or Mecca -- almost a religious experience.

Here's one of us at the Howard's Pub "Welcome to Ocracoke" sign:
(Many thanks to those who recommended this great place to stop!)

Here's a short video of the pathetically broken Cirrus on the side of
the runway at Ocracoke Island: (It hurts to look at it!)

Here's a pic of our Million Dollar View from our hotel balcony on
Myrtle Beach...

Completely by accident, we flew to the beach that has been rated "2nd
Best in the World" by Conde Nast, right behind Waikiki Beach.

Finally, if you're really bored, you can see a whle bunch more pix and
videos from this flight to West Virginia, North & South Carolina,
Alabama, Tennessee, and Missouri he

It was six days off, four days of flying, 17 hours in the air, 2008
miles -- all following the sun.

Enjoy!

Dang, I would have given anything to have been there in '03. Just
couldn't put it together, right after opening the hotel...

Good stuff Jay. We did the Wright Memorial last year. http://pad39a.com/gene/wright.html

Memphis and Myrtle Beach bring back memories of flights too.

And BTW, March 14 thru 16 I was making a flight from St Louis to
Kansas and then to Montana and back home. Had 60+ knot tailwinds
coming home across Iowa - thank you very much.

Because we fly, we envy no one.

Yeah, those headwinds that followed that cold front were really
something. We stayed up at 8500 feet, to stay in smooth air, but the
trade-off was a SLOOOOW flight.

Luckily, my kids are now old enough (and experienced enough) to be
able to "hold it" for up to four hours, so we just flipped on the XM
radio, hit the autopilot, and enjoyed the flight!
