This is What Flying is All About

I took advantage of beautiful weather yesterday to fly Caedmon and Geoff to the LSA Expo in Mount Vernon, IL. On the way, we flew over the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers. The Mississippi is on the left; the Missouri on the right. Can you tell which one is muddier?

It was Caedmon’s first flight in a small airplane. I think that he found it mildly pleasurable.

On the way back, St. Louis approach and the Lambert tower controllers were more than kind in allowing us to make a low approach along runway 12R at KSTL. We flew along the runway at 120 knots about 70 feet off the ground. Caedmon got to wave at the tower controllers and all of the folks in the airline terminals.

Thanks to Geoff for catching these photos while I was busy flying 🙂

The numerologist in me was tickled to note that I now have 200 hours on N2468Z’s tachometer.
