So WifeyGimp and I are taking the Yak up to Big Bear (L35) a little later this morning to join several friends for an Eagles' tribute band concert at a place called The Cave tonight.
I have had the Yak for 16 months, this will be her 2nd flight in it, first overnight trip. Flight plan says just under an hour compared to 3-3.5 hour drive. One couple had to drop out due to air system issues with their Yak, one of my friends who works for me drove up with his wife yesterday in their new RV, and another couple will fly their Super Cub up later this afternoon.
Hopefully she enjoys it, all told she has only flown with me a dozen or so times in the 23 years we have been married, she didn't use to like it but lately seems to be trying so I figured why not try for a fun, easy trip.
We flew to Vegas for our anniversary year before last in a really nice Cutlass, and she tolerated that, but we ended up in the air almost 40 minutes longer than planned thanks to Obama's arrival at the same time (I knew he was coming and I was on a flight plan per the Temporary Flight Restriction but we still ended up getting diverted all over hell's half-acre). Recommend everything about Henderson Airport (KHND) by the way, they treated us great including after-hours rental car help.
