A few weeks back we flew home from Temple, which reminded me about the day almost 6 years ago when we brought Mean Green home from this same airport after her first round of overhauls…back then, she only had 4 good cylinders (out of 6), questionable magnetos, and an exhaust leak that caused her to backfire at low RPM….it was the first step in more than a year of major repairs, but as you can see, today she climbs like a Bat out of Carlsbad Caverns….here’s a snippet from next week’s article: “On January 29, 2021, I walked into the FBO at Temple Draughon-Miller Airport to buy a sectional map, just to be legal to fly home They looked at me the way the car dealership looked at grandpa when he tried to buy a truck with hand-crank windows. “Nobody uses those anymore”, was basically what they told me. No doubt thinking to themselves, “where the heck did this guy come from?” Before they could call the cops on me, I must have had a confused look on my face, because the younger guy chimes in, that “most people just use their phone.” He showed me how to do it, and I pretended to follow. In my mind, I already knew which direction to fly to get back to Taylor, so let’s get home and figure all this stuff out later”….AIRPOWER….;-)
