    Negative - VF-1 is a naming indicator for a naval aircraft. Air Force markings are very different, and only on the tail. We also put crew chief names on the birds, because it's the mechanics that really own the aircraft. Pilots simply break shit.

    Cool, but I would never do that to my personal aircraft.
    Nice! I went hang gliding for the first time in New Zealand and had an absolute blast

    I think I’m going to be in the same boat. Called for a weather brief to see about flying later this evening but temps are -28°F and not warming up.

    Flew out to Hot Springs today for the horse races. My friend in the 210 met me down there. On the way over I saw someone sitting on that private strip just by coincidence as I looked out the window. It was a great day to fly, not a bump in the sky! There were quite a few people who had flown in for the races as you can see by the planes on the ramp.

    On approach to HOT, ATC asked me to slow down because I was number two for the airport (he slowed me down so my friend could get in first, that stinker!). That's new! I've never been told to slow down before, especially in a Cessna!
