Well after a little time out for an engine rebuild I finally got back into the
air again. Tonight's flight was 1 hour and absolutely no problems at all. I
wasn't planning on flying again until I installed my transponder due to an
incredible amount of water bomber traffic at our strip, but the damned thing is
still somewhere between Australia and here. They were extremely aggressive at
attacking the fires so that when we had some moderately heavy rain these last 2
days they gained complete control and this morning declared them 100% contained.
So this evening was eerily quite up at the airport, just begging for me to go
flying... so we did.
It sure was good to get back up there again. Tomorrow should be more of
the same so I hope to get some good tests done and have more to
report.
