This past weekend I realized how important prefilghts are. I had flown down to Idaho Falls and was getting ready to fly back when I found cracks in one of the fittings that hold the Horizontal stabilizer on, wonder how long they had been there cuz they were starting to rust. Glad I caught it before I had real trouble. Got it taken care of then the weather closed in and I got stuck in Challis. I flew low back to I.F. then drove home.
The flight down was nice, flew over Big Creek, Indian Creek and Thomas Creek. Can't wait till summer.
