10/1/11-The Trip Home

When I first got to Glasair I was very disappointed-the "to do" list that I left them with a couple of months ago had not been completed. So we went to work and with 4-5 people working on the plane we had everything pretty much buttoned up in a day and a half-except some avionics issues. So I flew the plane down to Aurora, Oregon where Pacific Coast Avionics is located. Within a day there they had me back into the air with the issues pretty much resolved. My flight back went something like this. KUAO to KCOE. KCOE to 6S3. 6S3 to KRAP. KRAP to KFRM. KFRM to KIKK. KIKK to KADG. I was lucky and had good weather all the way back, until the last day when the winds really picked up. The landing that I made at Adrian was not one of my best, but I had a close to 20 mph crosswind. NOT fun!

The plane after final paint-NICE!

You definitely want to fly in this stuff when you can see-those rocks look crazy hard!
