Elizabeth and Jerry go off the End

Hope everybody had a great Independence Day weekend. We got some good flying in over the long weekend, and got Jerry some time in the right seat. That’s the good news. The bad news is, since he was doing well, Beth decide to let him land. Well, the landing went OK, but we knew that […]

Flying Again, Testing N44VF

Back in the saddle. Elizabeth got some work in yesterday, on the other runway (1). I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it, but Lebanon (I68) is a little unusual in that all traffic is on the east side of the airport. That means that RWY 1 uses a right traffic pattern and 19 uses left […]
