Hey, its FRIDAY.

69 degrees and pretty weather here. Yesterday's flight was an all messed up temperature wise. It was 88 degrees when we took off. Down to 80 at altitude. When we landed 2.6 hours later it was 65. WTF? The front came through as we were on the project.

There was a T-6 Texan II from Vance AFB doing touch and goes at the airport we use. Cool looking toy! He did 8 or 10 touch and goes. He would land, go around, and do it again. It sounded cool, and looked good. It sure moves out from the runway. In the middle of all it a 152 with instructor and student took off. It looked like he was in slow motion compared to the T-6 Texan II

Evidently the Air Force uses them as a trainer before the pilot gets to fly a jet.
