Great flying--handling that big bird with aplomb.
And very nice colors. (Seems just right to see Jeff in these classic liveries!)

I need a drink. I thought this was going to be an easy leg. It started fine with clear sunny skies. About half way the clouds rolled in and I knew I needed to descend a long way. I went down too soon trying to get under the scud and ended up winding my way down a narrow valley. When it opened up I pointed the nose towards the AEN VOR and kept expecting to see the airport at any minute. It was five long minutes before I sighted it and setup to land. All's well that end well.
