This morning I flew up to Wilmington airport in low visibility. Takeoff looked VFR, but as soon as I was airborne, I could see flying north might be challenging.

Linda was kind enough to pick me up and drop me off, which allowed me to get Red Eagle to do the recert on both altimeters. they also updated all my software – Aspen and Garmin systems.

I flew the GPS27 into Wilmington and enjoyed the process – using FlyQ for the first time. It is ok.  I’m going to keep playing with it, but relying on Foreflight at the same time.  I got behind the airplane a bit when I was looking at it; autopilot off; and flying in low vis.

It was a nice addition to the beginning and ending of my day.

Fully retired now, unless something interesting comes along. I’ve enjoyed a lucrative career as an Electrical Engineer, Certified Software Solutions Developer, and Project Manager. An excellent and fun career that I’m very proud of. I began flying commercially in Dash-8 aircraft for Piedmont Airlines, and moved on to instruct in the Gulfstream 280; WestWind; and Astra jet aircraft. I’ve also been blessed with a type rating in the B-25 bomber in a fortunate turn of events. My wife, Beverly, and I currently own and operate a beautifully restored PA30 Twin Comanche, which we use to explore the CONUS.
