Annual

Opened up my 60 year old airplane for annual and it looks like it just came off the factory floor.

Annual time

Dropped off my plane for its 3rd annual in my ownership.  The main thing is I'm having them install a real air conditioner.  I bought the ArcticAir 24 volt real ac unit.  It just seems like summers are getting hotter and hotter and it's just so much nicer to have a cool cabin and not be drenched with sweat by the time you're airborne.  Also my older son is prone to air-sickness and I've noticed he does better with nice cool air blowing on him.  The B-Kool ice cooler works reasonably well but it's just a bit of a hassle to load it with ice.  Otherwise no real squawks this year and hoping for a quick turn around.

Since the shelter order my Pilatus flights have been few and far between.  Oh well, In the mean time, I always have my sim.  The new x-plane 11 beta with Vulkan update is really good.  Here I'm having fun flying the C90.

With the huge curved flat screen it's super immersive.  Here I had to back up a few feet just to get the whole thing in the frame.
