My new friend

At one of our stops in Moxville, NC I had a little helper named Harmony. She helped me organize papers and enter our riders information into the computer.

Partners

Ed Robinson is on the left, and Micheal Stroh is on the right. He helped organize the Florida tour. In 2001 I spent some time in Indonesia with Micheal. He gave me a very good look at the life of a missionary pilot. His wife and three children will be serving in Arizona where we will be in roughly two years. I look forward to getting to know them better.

Very hot

We had some very pretty cloud formations in Florida, but I was rather disappointed that we never got a good thunderstorm. The weather was very hot and humid, which is not my favorite combination.

I don't get it

I don't know why that last picture didn't flip on it's side. I am a little confused now. If any of you know what I am doing wrong shoot me an email please

The rough life

This was one of the hangers we stayed at in Sanford Florida. I have honestly never seen anything like it. The hanger had tile floors, fans that were made out of old airplane blades, a bar, and a very large table in the middle with a chandelier hanging over it.

Lots of rides

I am not sure what happened to my other picture, it was right side up when I entered it. I guess I will chalk it up to inexperience:)
We have given over 700 rides on this tour so far. Ed Robinson does all the rides, while I do all the point to point flying. This picture was of me flying to Florida with a ride along passenger. He wasn't paying so I could still fly the route.

Stormy ride

I was able to spend a week with my family and friends in Wisconsin half way through the Kodiak tour. Amanda and Abigail also flew out at the same time. We had a great time and it was a much needed break from the tour. On our way out we had a bit of weather to work around. The picture shows us just skirting the edge of a thunderstorm. We saw a lot of lightning and a lot of black clouds, but were able to stay clear of it. We got through just in time, because about a half hour later it really closed in and covered the bottom half of Wisconsin. The picture above shows the sattalite image in our cocpit as we flew through it. The flight was only four hours, from Oshkosh, WI to Bermingham, Al. After the initial storm we had smooth flying the rest of the way.
