You’re probably getting pretty tired of this, but I’m back up to Fallon for the week, and posting will be necessarily slow while en route.
I can’t do this all on my own (I’m no superman).

Off now to Oak Harbor, via SEATAC. Cuppla nights there then off to Fallon for a week and a bit. Chat amongst yourselves. So, the ice-off is just around the corner, and I have my Christmas gifts all assembled. A 9′/5W St. Croix Elite rod, coupled with an Orvis Battenkill, mid-arbor reel. Hydros 5-wt line and a 9′, 5x tapered nylon leader. Some tippet material when the leader gets a little thick. A nice over-the-shoulder pack to [...] You’re a pretty savvy and diverse crew. I’ve got a question that might be answered by some of those on board – and maybe bring some of the lurkers out of the shadows. I’ve got a question bank consisting of, let’s say, 200 questions. The are sorted into one of several bins; powerplant, landing [...] I quite like the train actually, especially for a trip like today’s, when I was only doing a touch and go in Point Mugu to pick up a jet and ferry her to Fallon. The time spent traveling was roughly the same, once you’ve deigned to commit yourself to the train’s schedule rather than [...] You’re not in Sandy Eggo any more, precious. Update: Well, that was something of a bust. Got to the field with large wet snow flurries everywhere. Entered the ready room to hear from an F-5 pilot that all of the F-5s, F-16s and, yes – Kfirs – were cancelled from the first launch. [...] Which your host is back in charming Fallon, NV, having only left the place last Friday, but such were the puts and takes of managing pilot availabilities amidst an ever-dynamic requirements set. It was nice to be @home #whileitlasted, but it’ll be good to get back in the air again, so long as the [...] Well, the video uploading was summat of a bust. Which is a pity, for I put some real time into it, not merely in the recording of the stuff, but in editing and adding motivational music, like. Which was my downfall, in the event. To hear YouTube tell it. Divers and sundry techniques were [...] I had intended to push out from Sandy Eggo at around 1000 yesterday morning, but between one micro-crisis and another didn’t get rubber to road until nearly 1230. As it turns out, Highway 405 presents quite a different aspect through Los Angeles after lunch time than it does just before or just after, the [...] Heading up to Point Mugu, for to support the flight operations of Our Beloved Corps. Right here in Miramar. Which, wouldn’t it be simpler, and don’t get me started. Staying in lodgings up at Port Why-me-me. Busy, over the next cuppla. Morning, noon and (gasp! shudder!) night. Talk amongst yourselves. |
