MID Posted September 8, 2011 #3076 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Speaking of flying. Bade and I had Sweetie out for long approach practice Yesterday. We established ourselves at 50,000 feet and were descending over the northern California coast, passing through 40,000, when traffic alerted us to jet aircraft at our 6:30 at 33,000. Sally snapped this picture through the aft loading door 1000 mm camera! Whooo! But fear not....we were 7 miles ahead, 6000 feet above, and a lot faster as we streaked toward EDW for a landing.

badeskov Posted September 14, 2011 #3094 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Oh...no! No one aboard during out training runs. It's me, you, Sally, and Glyn should he be available! Takeoffs and landings and some cruising out over the ocean testing the approaches. Lil gets uptight when some bumps might be involved, or we're playin' around. For her, we'll make iot smooth and easy! Ahaa....I am definitely up for some stick time with you, Sally and Glyn!! Better let Lilly stay on the ground during training, agreed Cheers, Badeskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartender at your service Cherry cobbler, brussel sprouts and lots of cheese. Getting hungry just thinking about it. Indeed!

badeskov Posted September 14, 2011 #3096 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) You cant see the ground departing at a rate of speed with a Big B.B.Q Rib in your mouth Lilly! Very, very true!!! Lilly might need a hand to hold Susie! And you'll love Bade! A fine bartender, and not bad with a stick and rudder either! Being First Officer, as well as Chief Bartender, you'll see plenty of him on the trip! Ah, thanks you for the kind words, MID.
