Airport manager Paul Fullerton greeted me on the ramp and offered the use of his old Chevy Suburban courtesy car overnight, which was greatly appreciated. I got Amy out of the plane and she retired to the terminal while I refueled, pushed the plane over to a tie down spot, offloaded and secured the aircraft for the overnight stay.

I was pleasantly surprised by the landing I had forgotten that it would feel quite a bit different at full gross with an aft CG but I timed the flare just right and we plopped down on the runway and stayed there. We had a stiff wind but it was right down the runway. But the airframe and engine were working perfectly and despite the panel errors I could navigate, so we kept going and had no problems getting to the Mackinac County Airport (83D). It was only the second flight with Amy on board it was the first time doing a long cross-country flight together it would include an overwater flight across the Straits of Mackinac and I was getting some anomalous error indications from the avionics. I will admit to being nervous when we began the journey.

September started with yet another milestone: Amy and I made our first destination flight to St. August ended with a couple more recurrency flights that included my first takeoff on Runway 36. Maybe too tired during the post-show taxi back to the hangar I made a couple of boneheaded directional mistakes that almost got me in trouble but I caught myself just in time. When it was all over I was tired but happy. It was an honor to be parked close to the Yankee Air Museum warbirds, accepting compliments and congratulations and answering many questions about building and flying my plane. The weather was less than ideal but the rain stayed away and we didn't have to worry about sunburns. It was a long and glorious day of greeting old friends and meeting new ones in a setting I'd been dreaming about for many years. EAA Chapter 194 set up a tent with five aircraft parked around it in an ideal location on the ramp. The first post-OSH flight in August was a short rust removal loop to Marlette and Tuscola before returning to PTK and washing the plane in preparation for displaying it at the Open House and Air Show a few days later.
