Long Lunch - 5/24/10

After 5 weeks of being busy wrapped up in other things, and crummy weather, a flyable day arrived. With ceilings at 2800ft, I would not be able to go outside the valley, but it would be a good day to take a long lunch and knock the rust off.

With a little light rain here and there, I flew over to McMinnville (MMV) for a couple of crosswind landings, then over to Aurora (UAO) for another, and back to Twin Oaks.
The wind favored runway 20 back at Twin Oaks, and a crosswind landing on 20 is always good practice. Sometime I'll hopefully have a passenger along when landing 20 to take a few pictures. It's sure a different sight picture following the small creek down on final to a down-sloping runway.

Nothing particularly exciting or challenging, but nice to fly.
