KILG to KGED to KCGE to KILG

Took a flight on Sunday Febuary 23rd with my son Henry.  We went down to Georgetown and plan was to come back to Wilmington, however breakfast place wasn't opened at Georgetown (I checked and website said they opened at 9, but didn't open until 11) so we ended up flying to a recommended place from Gary called Cambridge and stopped in at Kays.  Henry enjoyed seeing the multiple planes sitting on the ramp and we ate crab dip and BLTs.  Flight back to Wilmington was great.  Henry had a great time until I was on final approach for 27, he pinched his finger and let out a cry, but as a pilot you are taught to Aviate, Navigate, Communicate, so I aviated until that bird was landed.   Winds were 240 @ 12 G 22 when we landed.

Where have you been?

Don't worry everyone, I am still around.  My wife and I have welcomed a new addition to our family, who is a baby girl named Autumn Karli Rideout, born on January 8, 2014.   I did some flying in December, but it was mostly work in the pattern to stay proficient and also currency flights.  I plan on doing a flight soon with pilotsnpaws and want to get my instrument rating in 2014.  I will be updating some posts shortly.
