Mr. B. Flew in to KPTK today. I wasn't flying as the Archer is still down getting its new engine, and the Dakota was out for the weekend with another pilot. So Mr. B. came to visit.

He landed with one heckuva crosswind. It was blowing 18 gusting 25 knots at 280-310 for a 15 knot plus gusty crosswind component.
He did it with style, and made it look easy, with a very nice landing.
He taxi'd in and parked, and we headed off to a great brunch, which he kindly paid for.
After a great time catching up, I drove him back to the airport.
He did the preflight, and as he did that I removed the nose chock, and he got the engines started and soon headed back home.
It was a darn good meet-up.

LOL, glad y'all got to meet up for lunch!
B: Indeed you are. But, he may have the edge in pure flying skills though :-).
Old NFO: It was a darn good time.
I read this first on Mr. B's blog, and immediately thought of how many people are brought together by things like, in this case, a love of flying. And connections made by such things seem to be the ones that endure through thick and thin.
Glad that you were able to have a good day, and also that you got to do another ruck workout on Tuesday. It is things like both of these events that keep you young. Happy Holidays, and many more safe travels.
