Phew, a tough day at work for me. My business partner came over, and we rolled out to the airport. The windsock was mostly flat but would stir a little at 270, it was clear blue skies, 68 degrees, chamber of commerce weather. Got the Garmin G-1000 updated, and a camera mounted on the 182 so it is ready to fly a project in Arkansas tomorrow now that the targets are down. We went down to one of the 172s we have leased and did 4 touch and goes, and got it ready to go back in the hangar. We got one of the other cameras on it so it is ready to go.
We keep the 172 is a shared hangar with a guy that has an old project Rutan design airplane in it. The 172 is a leased old ugly airplane with a crappy pain job, and shot interior. It is just a work truck. Our 182 is a nice pretty airplane.
It does everything better than the 172, and for some reason my business partner prefers to fly it, especially on out of state flights.
