I almost never listen to music when I’m flying, and I really wish I had an autopilot. But some days are different, I guess. My hero!  Wow IMC, no A/P, no SIC and distractions. Nicely done Stu...

That’s just BT SF. Pay no never mind to the naysayers. Look forward to seeing some ID videos from you and MH early next summer. Someone needs to challenge Scott N at short fields or horse shoes and I’m betting you have a shot beating his landings in the 185. Penman will never give up his joint title with Scott at horse shoes....

I almost never listen to music when I’m flying, and I really wish I had an autopilot. But some days are different, I guess. Hey, I guess Skywagon people have similar tastes! Here i am climbing to 12,000 enroute to CA. Deluxe breakfast on board, and listening to.... Lynnird Skynnird, Bob Dylan, Willie, Bob Marley.... My autopilot is my feet on the rudder pedals. Tom

If someone would be kind enough to help me right the previous post's picture, I would appreciate it. I promise I was not doing a slow roll, and reserve those for the next Pitts.
