    Default Today's short trip

    Nice & sunny today....very little wind and smooth ride......The snow isn't very deep yet, but it's bright.

    For extra points....the 91 octane car gas was down to $3.26 while the 100LL pump was $6.06.....love the Rotax.

    That's great, Dave! I flew today also, but no snow on the ground (a lot in the mountains!). Is the 91 octane mogas that you use ethanol-free?

    John,

    I didn't mention it; but, that is the ethanol free 91 octane stuff...we have two stations close to the airport and due to the sleds (winter) and boats (summer) both of them pump a lot of this stuff...I think the current price is an invitation for us to fly more!

    Regarding yesterday......a person hears so often that airports are somewhat deserted....in this case I think there was a lot of pent up desire to aviate as we have had a fair amount of crappy weather this month........The airports I was at were pretty much beehives.....lots of people out.......saw many aircraft of all types enroute also..

    No snow here. Temps were in the mid 50's Runway was thawed out and very soft. Made a short flight before the fog came back in later this afternoon. Had a couple hours after dinner that it was nice.
