Our plane proved itself a magic carpet today, taking us from St. Charles, MO to Kalamazoo, MI to visit Candy’s mother (and family); then on to Valparaiso, IN to visit my mother (and family); and then back home. We could not possibly have spent time on Mother’s Day with everybody using any other vehicle.
Total time in the air: 4 hours 38 minutes, just over half the time it would have taken to drive to Kalamazoo.
Total fuel used: just 46 gallons for the 596 nautical mile (685 statute mile) round trip.
Total smiles: immeasurable!
