Tail winds are nice - but perspective is everything. It was said earlier in this topic - we are traveling 66,000 miles an hour around the sun. Bigger still - the sun is moving in the galaxy and that is moving too.

TAS is the speed we buy and pay for.

A shameless plug for alternative erosion protection products.

An alternative to Papa Mike is the new Aero Armor line of erosion protection film offered by Skandia (radome, antennae, edge tape).

I would encourage anyone interested to call Jarod Triplett at Skandia....fantastic customer service and some benefits Papa Mike doesn't offer.

I would love to have any Aerostar, but since I'm dreaming, this is the one I'd like to have :drool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efoxS8J3SJ4

That would be a nice STC. Let’s skip the diesel engines and turboprops and go straight to turbofans.

You are correct of course Bob,

I would gladly take zero wind most all the time.

In Aerostar though I can often fly west at 8,000 feet into a 25-30 knot headwind and then return at FL230 with 50-70 knot tailwind. On an out and back you are in the headwind longer than the tailwind so the tailwind has to be greater just to come out even.

I just returned from Mill visit-goose hunt in Arkansas
25 knot headwind at 8000 and forecast 80 knot tailwind on return...yippee skippy
Next day forecast was down to 30 knot tailwind on return...slight bummer
I saw 30 knot HEADWIND over Alabama on return...oh well...still love this bird

Still only 2:35 flight time and I finally landed at Charlotte-Douglas (Good braking action reported)
My home EQY had snow covered runway


at 7,000 feet about 20 miles out Charlotte approach said an Airbus just reported moderate ice from 6000 all the way to the runway :bugeye:

If an airbus reported moderate ice What is that going to be for ME?
I requested and got block altitude between 7-8K to stay over the tops and stayed up a while longer.

Pitot heat, prop heat, windshield deice and SPOILERS...all on and tested on pre take off and again an hour before approach to be sure of amp draw
3500fpm down we go

maybe 1/8" of ice at about 4k, time for my first real use of boots,
I turned them on and concentrated on nailing the localizer for 36 RIGHT! (3 PARALLEL RUNWAYS IN USE)

My passenger said the boots were amazing to watch and worked flawlessly

Me, not so much, glad my passengers did not notice how sloppy I was...
Amazing how just a good landing is equated to a good flight

My glass stare is much better than my six pack scan
For once I was glad to break out at 1500 instead of 200!

Practice will continue AND continue AND continue AND continue

Today was Beverly's first time riding in the Aerostar, and the first time flying in a "small airplane" since we sold the Bonanza. So it's been a while, and she was nervous. It was also our new rescue chessie Jack's first time in an airplane.

Just look at these two!

Only thing cooler than an Aerostar is an Aerostar with a CBR in it!
