Hey Shaun

Got to ride in a different aircraft yesterday. Beechcraft Baron.

We went to Minneapolis Mn from Peoria in 1hr 45 min average speed about 160 knots. Got to sit in the co-pilot seat on the way back. This was a model with the yoke on the pilot side only, still cool :guitar:

We took off and landed from Mt Hawley airport in Peoria. Kind of strange TO an landing in the middle of a city especially in the dark

nice rig -- I prefer a dual yoke -- the night landings are always fun at least in the city you don't have to worry about deer or coyote standing in the runway

The Baron had the swing yoke, pull the pin and swing it to the co-pilot, the Baron also doesn't have brakes on the right peddles.

My buddy at work had a good weekend. He paid to fly a Grumman Biplane for an hour at the local St. Marys Airport. He was some kinda happy about it too. Glad you had a nice trip Jerry.
