Comanche flight across Puget Sound

[Paughco]

Went on flight in the Comanche over Puget Sound on November 7. The weather was great, as we were between fronts at the time. I had flown the Comanche from Arlington (KAWO) to Orcas (KORS) the night before to meet some friends. A good time was had by all, then we all piled in and flew home. Here is the flight plan, per LittleNavMap:



Here we are, passing by Lopez Island:



The night flight from KAWO to KORS was prompted by problems I was having with the ADF. After downloading and thoroughly RTFM, I found that it was working perfectly. I climbed out at max power to 4,500 feet so as to be above the Charlie airspace around Whidbey Island NAS, then homed in on the CVV VOR, then the FHR ADF. Very nice.

The day flight back home was great! I noticed less tendency to float during flare with three passengers on board. I am so glad I have the Comanche!

Very nice flight you had there and I love seeing the retro paints in action too, something special about them that is stark contrast to the other end of the scale of the modernised repaints that make the air-frame look super modern. Amazing what a lick of paint can do

cheers,
