Fathers Day 2020

I finally got to make a flight over to zph to visit my family. I went flying on Saturday and my dad jokingly posted a comment on a picture that I put on Facebook asking me to come over Sunday. I was already going to call them to come pick me at 8am, so we could have breakfast together. So went ahead and told him to meet me at the airport at 8. He called me later thinking I was joking, I was serious of course, so I also asked my sister to come out and bring her kids.

Awesome morning! Got to see my dad, mom, sister, brother in law, niece, and nephew. Normally it’s almost a three hour drive. This made it so I could go over in the morning, be back by noon to beat the weather, and make it to my wife’s families cook out in the afternoon. This little flight is certainly going to become more routine. Can’t wait to gain more proficiency so I’m confident enough to take my wife along too.

A little cool side note is gas is $3.30 a gallon. I burned 7 gallons to go there and back. Tolls alone are $10 each way, plus gas to drive. So it was $25 cheaper to fly, plus it saved 4.5 hours of drive time.
