A pretty uneventful flight over America’s heartland. Not a damn hill or mountain in site. Some light storms in Illinois and some interesting turbulence crossing the border into Indiana. I was planning on landing at the Grand Lake (O12) airport in St. Mary’s, but that was just until I realized there was no airport there…O12 is in the middle of Grand Lake!! So…as I wasn’t in a plane that was fit for an amphibious landing. I changed my flightplan and decided to land at Fortman airport, which is also located in St. Mary’s.
My best friend Phil was born and raised in St. Henry, OH. So this leg of the journey was just a little tribute to him.
I’m actually in the mood to do a little more flying tonight, so I think I take a quick hop from St. Mary’s over to Cleveland, continuing to make my way to the East Coast and then it’s out over the Atlantic this weekend.
