I'm off to the airport in about an hour. First up will be a review of the paperwork that came with the new cylinders, to make sure I understand completely how the manufacturer (ECI) wants them to be broken in. Then we'll go over the plane carefully and then it will be time for a test flight to see how the overhauled engine is working.
Fly along with Brian as he ventures further afield...

Following 70L
Click on the link below to track 70L in flight. The tracks are often inaccurate or missing completely for non-instrument flights. A track will often end unexpectedly before the actual end of the flight. Incomplete tracks are just a sign of tracking problems, not a problem with the flight itself.

NASA Images
The NASA image of the day is usually pretty cool. But they seem to have problems sometimes with the delivery of the images. If you don't see the image, press F5 to refresh the page in your browser. That usually will cause the image to display. :-)
Flying Around Near Home
Here are a few pictures we took while flying around near home last Fall.
About aviation...
Lady, you want me to answer you if this old airplane is safe to fly? Just how in the world do you think it got to be this old?
— Anon
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to the society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.
— George Bernard Shaw
And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return.
— Leonardo DaVinci
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asks, "What was your last known position?" The reply: "When I was number one for takeoff".
