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.

  1. Is that a touchscreen that allows you to interact with the radios and HSI?
