Eight Delta Fox: April 2012
http://n218df.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
One guy. One plane. What happened. Thursday, April 5, 2012. This post was originally started back in February of 2011. I encountered an engine problem that plagued me for most of that year, and resulted in almost two months without the plane once it was diagnosed properly. This is the story of how it all began. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This is my way of attempting to remember lessons learned, sights seen and adventures had during each of my flights in N218DF. Basically, details I can't fit in the ...

Eight Delta Fox: January 2010
http://n218df.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
One guy. One plane. What happened. Monday, January 25, 2010. Time to Dust this Thing Off. It's been well over a year since I last posted anything. Since the last flight I chronicled I've logged a little over 100 hours. Most of those flights were pretty unremarkable. A couple I will never forget as long as I live whether I write about them or not. For reasons of my own, I will not. Until then . . . Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Air Safety Foundation-Learn and Live.

Eight Delta Fox: May 2012
http://n218df.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
One guy. One plane. What happened. Friday, May 4, 2012. KCMI to KPIA to KCMI - 1.5 hrs. The day prior had been a wild one weatherwise. The bulk of the bad weather had been to the north of us, but a little rogue cell popped up west of Champaign and eventually grew to such monstrous proportions it birthed a funnel cloud. My wife got a nice picture of of the evil little cloud as she was trying to hustle our boys into the basement. A quick aside for those wondering what "the hood" is -. We were given 14L as ...

Eight Delta Fox: May 2008
http://n218df.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
One guy. One plane. What happened. Thursday, May 29, 2008. KCMI to K24 to KCMI - 3.5 hours. Last Tuesday we received word that my father's cousin Royce passed away suddenly from a heart attack. Dad asked me to fly he and Luke down to Kentucky for the funeral on Thursday. On our arrival at K24, the AWOS. Is slightly forward when it's just Laurie and I. But with the extra passenger in back (who, without divulging any secrets, is roughly the same weight as me)the CG was much closer to center. I made...Cruis...

Eight Delta Fox: October 2007
http://n218df.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
One guy. One plane. What happened. Sunday, October 28, 2007. KCMI Local Flight - .8 hours. Everybody showed up at the hangar about 2. Skyler's mom, dad, aunt and youngest brother all showed up to see him off on his big adventure. While Laurie belted everybody in I answered parents' questions while finishing the preflight. If they were nervous, they really didn't show it. I think dad wished he could have come along. I tried to make the landing as smooth as possible and, I think, succeeded. At least gr...

Eight Delta Fox: December 2007
http://n218df.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
One guy. One plane. What happened. Sunday, December 2, 2007. KCMI to KIGQ to KCMI - 1.7 hours. This is another flight that actually took place about 3 weeks ago. I've been slacking in blogging about these. Due to the passage of time and my overtaxed brain cells (I'm not saying I do a lot of thinking, it's more a mental horsepower thing) I can't recall a lot details about this flight.

Eight Delta Fox: May 2010
http://n218df.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
One guy. One plane. What happened. Monday, May 10, 2010. KCMI to K24 to KCMI - 3.2 hours. As beautiful as the day was, I only saw one of my fellow T-hangar denizens taxiing out to take advantage of the glorious conditions. Even the planes on the University ramp were still. It wasn't long before I had my clearance and was on my way. In an effort to preserve my engine life I've established the habit of very gradual power reductions in the descent. This is to avoid shock cooling the engine with abrupt p...
