The season is on at Quest Air

Larry Bunner and Greg Dinauer are here

Greg Dinauer|Larry Bunner|Quest Air

Pilots have been flying in January here at Quest and they have had some good days, but today was the first cross country with Larry Bunner going to the Turnpike and back.

The high was 80 which takes us back to December. Larry was off just before me and Greg was next. Larry and I were up at 3,500' as I waited for Greg. Greg was climbing slowly and without the radios working (this was our first together flight of the season) Larry headed out on the task and we lost touch with him as I waited.

Greg got up but lost it south of Quest and I go to work light lift around Quest getting low and getting back up. Larry was able to go out on his own while Greg landed. The sky was full of cu's and while there was plenty of shadows that made for interesting slow climbs.

After a long flight I decided to land and it wasn't that much longer that Larry made it back. A sweet day all around with lots of pilots having a great time.

Larry writes:

Cloudbase was low all day (<4000') but the clouds were very reliable. I managed to hit base seven times and slogged my way around the course having to deviate from the shortest path based on available clouds. Fun first day in Florida! Ended up with about 35 miles and 2:37 and a couple climbs in the 450fpm range. Hopefully tomorrow is even better.
