Had to make the hard choice today but with a direct crosswind gusting to 17kts, it was the safe choice. Have to respect those personal limits.

More right seat safety pilot fun yesterday. Hopefully get back in the left seat next week. Saw some aerobatics being practiced from the air and we over flew the plane I took my checkride in.

Iโ€™m not kidding when I say intersecting. We needed clearance to race across the active show runway and come back. Unbelievable how they were running this thing. The timing couldnโ€™t have worked out better for my drive.

Saturday I had a downright unbelievable experience. Drove 170mph in a Lamborghini Huracan Evo on an intersecting runway with a live, low level F18 demo taking place above me. The sound of a Lamborghini Huracan Evo engine at max revs behind your head mixed with F18s in afterburner is unbeatable!

I caught the #Electra test aircraft landing on Friday. Check out that SHORT landing! ๐Ÿ‘€ Maybe 4-5 plane lengths before turning to taxi.

I got to check off a new flying experience and I get to log some time for it too. I got to serve as safety pilot sitting right seat on a flight down to Charlottesville and back.

No one took me up on a Sunday night tasting, so I opened a new bottle for myself. #Bruichladdich did everything right with this expression. Even the packaging looks great on the shelf, but more importantly, the flavor is right up my alley!

That makes sense! I just recall how bad twitter was and thought maybe IG might be going the same way for some.

I had the chance to really test my new drone and officially complete my commercial drone license while in the #OBX. Whenever we visit, I always try to make a stop at the Wright Brothers National Memorial, even if itโ€™s just for a few moments. Hereโ€™s my humble tribute to that hallowed ground.

On the work computer way too late tonight but my away message is now up and the lid is closed for the next week and Iโ€™m feeling real good. With a glass of Ardbeg Uigeadail in hand I can relax for a few before heading to bed and in the morning weโ€™re headed back to one of our happy places - OBX!
