i finally passed the 5,000 hour mark on my trip yesterday from FL to CT. it was a great flying day of mostly vfr wx and some ifr challenges in the NY-CT area but my old faithfull rv did it again and again and again. thought i would catch the hobbs turning over and get a screen shot or note where i was but it didn't happen. landed about 4 tenths later at mount olive NC, w40, rnav 05 coupled ap synthetic vision in severe clear conditions. squeeked it on as usual, rolled to mid field and turned off. topped off with 31 gallons and continued as usual. glad you are all here to share the moment. :) be safe out there and enjoy those blue skys and wet clouds.
see you guys tomorrow at jafrey nh for lunch.
