Status: offline 		Wow, up hill on both legs! Head winds kept me down to an average of 100 knots! Usually see 115 knots at 8,500-9,500 ft. Too much loose baggage to loop and roll across the country. Did get the chance to "work" an air show. Fondled a real Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, P-47, Mustang and a Corsair!
