The Enterprise
started the year staying in San Diego with occasional trips up and down the
coast, including a couple to Mexico.
This was the first year I didn't drive her back home. Rather she stayed
in San Diego for the winter with a tour up California, over through
Sacramento, Reno, Salt Lake City, and finally to Albuquerque until
November.
The plan is to have the Enterprise stay in Albuquerque until the end of
November. While its there, I'll fly "Bubba" (a Beechcraft
Bonanza, pictured right) out to Albuquerque and leave it parked there so
as to cruise around the new area from a higher and much faster
perspective. I've never done that with the airplane so it will offer new
opportunities.
In December the Enterprise heads to Phoenix and so too will Bubba.
stays there for the fall, heading for Phoenix by December. Normally the
airplane gets very little use since it sits in the arctic Chicago winter
and I don't do cold. This way, hopefully I'll get to enjoy it a bit more.
Getting stuck
in
Albuquerque proved to be an adventure on its own right when I
landed in the midst of a Category 5 Nuclear Snowstorm. Escape from
Albuquerque is the first entry in 2007's log.
Winter 2006/2007 promises to be the year of multiflight! |

videos (see them at LiteTouchFilms.com).
Phil has also helped me get some fantastic shots along with my most frequent
flying partner, Tim Kaiser (below). 
Just
a quickie before sunset. Those colors made it well worth the effort and
waiting. 
Bubba, a 1959 Beechcraft
Bonanza that will hopefully join me for this year's winter Enterprise
adventures.
