Summary:
KHFY -> 4I7 -> KDKB -> KCLI -> KLAF -> KHFY
I left from Greenwood to go to pick up the puppies from the rescuer.
From there I flew to Dekalb to get fuel.
Then to Clintonville to drop of the puppies with the new owners.
I flew home from there and I wanted to try to make it the whole way, but I wasn't getting the groundspeed I needed in order to make it. I stopped in Lafayette because I haven't before.
The hour flight home from Lafayette was easy and short.
Now to the photos:
An early morning start. On the way to 4I7 |
Somewhere boring in Indiana. |
The Rescuers. Getting ready to pack the puppies up for the trip. |
Trees!!!! |
They are in there sleeping. |
At least until I woke them up. |
Yep, they are wearing puppy sweaters. |
Some college in southern Wisconsin |
Wisconsin has prettier lakes than Indiana. |
"scenery" |
It was 1:00 pm and I was starving. There was no crew car and no one else around. I ordered a pizza. Great decision. |
I think that is Lake Geneva, WI. |
Some neat shallow lake. |
Cruising along at 7500'. The Garmin Aera is an amazing tool. Hooray Central Indiana Aero Club. |
Northern Illinois. You can see a lot of wind turbines if you look closely. |
Rockin' the Suburbs! |
mmmm, wind power! |
01 Lima on the ramp in KLAF after getting fuel. |
On the way home between Lafayette and Indianapolis. |
My old home airport is over there. KEYE |
IND International. I'm getting to fly over the top at 4000' |
A better look at international. |
Almost Home! |
Dang, that's a lot of flying in one day - great photos! Did you take the shoreline route past downtown Chicago or head West?
ReplyDeleteWest. There was a presidential TFR until around 2pm
ReplyDeleteYay election season!
ReplyDeleteToo bad though, I'm sure the view of downtown would've been awesome yesterday.
