I finally convinced the wife to take another day trip in the airplane, she's tolerated several flights in the RV but hasn't ever been exactly comfortable with it. I'm hoping more flight time and other destination incentives will build her tolerance enough to enjoy it.
A tad warmer today than it's been, 18*F-blue skies and mostly smooth skies for our late morning departure. My wife is defenitely not tolerant of cold, ski bibs and a Columbia parka help....
Seat heaters and sealing the slider as Pat Hatch suggested (http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=104766)
make for a pretty warm ride overall. I was a little too warm in doubled up socks, long johns and a hoodie, the wife gave me a look when I cracked the fresh air vent...
I shot a practice GPS A into 3DW, the procedure turn is just south of SGF...
Southeast side of 3DW, check out the 591' tower next to the runway!
Another shot of the tower from the ramp, never mind the blankets wadded into the cowl as I'm sure I'll make some cool custom cowl plugs someday.
Believe it or not she chose the brewery theme for the trip even though she hates beer, first stop was Springfield Brewing Company for food. My first experience with Uber was a success, less than 10 minutes for pickup and $12 from the airport to downtown Springfield. Don't worry, I had Iced Tea instead of a deliciously tall cold dark beer.
SBC has these really cool 32 oz cans they fill from the tap and put on this machine to seal the top, I had to get several to-go....
