Flying: Surface Survey of The Shutdown

After the range I got home, did some chores and then noted the day was still bright with cloud cover up around 6,000 feet.

Wind was 11-18 out of 220 so not too bad.

Yep, time to go flying.

Leah and I headed to the airport, which was very quiet, did the preflight and started the plane up.

Tower and ground were combined, all of two other planes were flying, and due to Covid there's only one person in the tower handling ground and tower ops, all on the same frequency. She was not overworked, either. Like I said, it was all sorts of quiet.

So we headed off to the south to fly around a bit.

At 6:30 pm on a Saturday and normally bustling Northwestern Highway was empty:

After a bit we headed north.

Highway 75 was also amazingly empty.

We flew over the GM proving grounds and Romeo airport, not a vehicle was stirring.

Leah then fell asleep.

Then back to Pontiac and the controller had me do a long final just for fun instead of a typical right base. Had the airport all to myself. A nice soft landing, and then got her permission to taxi back to the hanger, bid her have a good night and stay safe, and that was the flight.

1.0 hours and 1 great landing.
