We Meet in the Middle

Kristy's airplane in on the left and Jo Ann's on right.

Our January planning day was held at the Murfreesboro Municipal Airport in Murfreesboro, TN.  Murfreesboro is in Middle Tennessee and home to Middle Tennessee State University.  Which is also my alma mater. Go Blue Raiders!  Thank you so much to airport manager Chad Gehrke and his wonderful linemen, Phillip and Radar, who both made us feel right at home.  When we arrived Phillip took us to the classroom which they had reserved.

Jo Ann flew over from UCY and I from MMI.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day for flying.  This is about an hour flight for both of us.  I was about 10NM out when I heard Jo Ann radio in. It was 10:30 when we arrived in "The Boro"  and by then the winds were gusting to 20kts.  Which you can tell by our hair!! LOL

For the next few hours we discussed paperwork, fees, and organizing our flight plan book.  Then what seems to be the most important part of our planning day LUNCH.  We were able to have lunch with Steve Johnson who is our Eastern Aviation Fuels sales rep. (Both of our airports are Shell Branded.)  Eastern Aviation Fuels is one of our sponsors and Steve is just a fun person to be around.  He was even gracious enough to buy our lunch.  THANK YOU Steve and Eastern Aviation Fuels!!!!!

After lunch we studied, plotted, and marked all over our maps.  We did this for hours before we realized the day had gotten away from us.  It was now time for me to fly East and Jo Ann to fly West.  This was another fun day of flying and planning. 

Setting Sun as 52U flies East.
