Our southern trip went like clockwork-although the clock started a day later than planned. Weather below minimums caused a one day delay-well worth the cavu weather we had the next four days..

The mountains just before Knoxville:

  We landed at Knoxville downtown island airport-one of the neatest airports I have ever landed at. We have video of the landing I hope to post soon...

The next day-on to Tullahoma, Tennessee to see the Beechcraft museum. Taxied right up to the entrance..

I like this shot of the first Staggerwing with our Baron in the background...

Then on to Gulf Shores, Alabama with this tough view outside our hotel balcony..

A day at the Pensacola Naval Aviator museum where I made 3 successful carrier landings on the Tomcat simulator-one normal, one in fog, and one at night-can anyone say 29 years of flight simming showed up?

Dinner at the throwed roll restaurant in Foley, Alabama (Lambert's)...

and a look at Gulf Shores on takeoff the next day..

A four day trip-1600 nautical miles, and lots of fun and adventure. Flying is the greatest!!!
