I'm back

It has been awhile since I have added anything to this blog. Last week's weather, although hot, was just fine for flying. I don't think I flew through a single cloud the entire week. It gave me a chance to look around a bit. Since the days are longer now I get to see what's underneath me as I fly. Okay, there's not a lot of stuff to look at between the panhandle of Oklahoma and Tulsa, but I'll take what I can get.
Before this last week the weather had been exceptionally crappy in the Oklahoma/Texas area. The first part of June was full of large lines of thunderstorms. The worst for me being in the Oklahoma City area. It seemed as though I was spending each and every night being tossed around in heavy rain and lightning. Nope not a lot of fun. But that's over, for the moment anyway.
Since I have procured a laptop my updates to this site will be more forthcoming as I will be able to post things when they are fresh in my mind. Until my next posting, cheers.

Returned from south Texas

Finally made it back from south Texas. Boy, it's hot down there...really hot. The day I was in Harlingen, TX the temperature was 103. It felt nice to climb up to 10,000 feet. The Caravan I fly doesn't have air conditioning, so the higher the better in the summer months.
I said the weather was late. Well it finally arrived here in Oklahoma. There has been a couple of nights with nasty lines of thunderstorms coming through the Tulsa area. Wind gust last night to 90 MPH in the greater Tulsa area.
I returned the other day from my south Texas trip on an unnamed major airline. Along the way the aircraft was having to go through and around some bad weather. This large aircraft was getting rocked! The Flight Attendants never made it out of their seats during all three legs of the flight. Everyone was having soft drink and peanut withdrawls. Only on an airline flight do you see people get downright nasty if they don't get a small package of peanuts. Nevermind that serving those peanuts would pose a danger to the Flight Attendants, just give us those nuts!
Next week it's off to my usual routine, flying from the panhandle of Oklahoma down to Dallas and back again. So until then, happy trails.
