It was a cold day here, about 0 F. The plane needed a bit of a preheat, started on the second blade and the air was, well smooth as silk.

The day was crystal clear and the wind did not pick up until about 15:00 and was right down the center of the run way.

All and all a good start to the year.

Warmed to about 18 here, with a 13 to 15 mph wind right out of 070. Be OK if the wind didn't blow as the wind chill is a bear! Runways are packed snow and ice. So I was crabbing down 03 while landing and it was still pushing me towards the left hand snow burm.

But yes it was smooth. Hands off flying.

See ya, Bub

It was beautiful this morning when we landed in Boise this morning too. It was about 15 degrees, clear and calm. It was one of those crisp winter mornings. I was glad to be flying.

Down South, it was windy as heck, so I stayed down and did honey do's. Last night though at 24:00 it was clear for flying. Fireworks look neat from an airplane

AwolArn,

If you get a chance stop by Twin Falls. There is a shop putting a glass star on anphibs here, it is free standing now.

Very neat.

I will PM you my contact info if you get a chance.
