FLYING
Flying has been a joy since 1986. During those years, I accumulated 1600
hours of flight time, and have owned a Cessna (C-182), two Commander 114s,
a Piper Lance, a Mooney (M20C), a Cirrus SR22, and now the Beechcraft
Bonanza (BE33)...N7AS, the best yet. With its Atlantic Aero IO-550 Tuned
Induction conversion, it is 315 HP strong, fast, and smooth, and with the
20-gallon tip tanks and its 110 gallons of usable fuel, there is more than 6
hours of range.... > 1000 miles.
On June 27, 2009, my friend Jim Russell "volunteered" to shoot some aerial
photos.... 3 or 4 passes along the river, and here are a couple of them... WOW!
HERE is the previous FLYING page, with some
nice pics of the Commander, the Cirrus, and
the Lance, and a little flying scenery...
