Hello Chaps, Prune here, haven't seen or heard from any of you Guys & Gals for over a week I had hoped someone might explain how I get some Screen Shots to send you.
Well here we are sitting on MADEE's steps 0600 beautiful morning, large mug of freshly brewed coffee, waiting for my breakfast & the Gas truck to arrive in that order, don't like eating breakfast stinking of fuel do you?
This is Winnipeg at its best.
Over the last few days we overflew Yellowknife headed off to Fairbanks, then on to Merrill Field, Achorage, nightstopped, Have you seen Achorage on a Saturday night, you pay for your over indulgence Sunday.
Sunday saw us overfly Price Rupert then on to Victoria International, another nightstop where we got a visit from the Mounties, came to look over MADEE found nothing but took a few pics then left us in peace.
Monday saw us in Calgarry, weather getting a bit claggy lots of cloud and mist to low levels and strong winds took us 3 circuits to make a clean landing.
Tuesday was no better as we headed east at 5000, that is untill we got down to 2500 on approach and then the sun came out, last evening got a treat got a backseat trip round the local area in an old Harvard 'Texan' T6, Ralph gave me the stick on our return, and I did some lazy loops and rolls making that ol' girls motor sing a sweet tune.
St Paul Minneapolis, Fleming Field today meeting up with an ol' pal, Master Seargent Norman Derryberry ex Iowa National Guard going up to stay with him in his lodge by Battle Creek might get a bit of fishing in.

Private detectives hired by Madeleine McCann's parents have released an image of a "Victoria Beckham lookalike" they hope to trace.
The woman, who had an Australian or New Zealand accent, was seen by two British men in Barcelona in Spain three days after the little girl went missing from Praia da Luz in Portugal.
The woman said something to one of the men which has convinced the McCanns' investigators that she might have information about Madeleine.
The two men first saw the woman when they were drinking in bars in Barcelona's Port Olimpic Marina at about 2am on May 7 2007.
She was said to be well-dressed but appeared agitated and kept walking up and down outside the El Ray de la Gamba restaurant bar, apparently waiting for somebody.
One of the witnesses, a 41-year-old British man, had a brief conversation with her in which she apparently thought he was the person she was scheduled to meet.
She said something to him that has made the McCanns' private detectives think she may know something about Madeleine.
The witnesses said the woman was aged between 30 and 35, short and slim, and described her as "a bit of a Victoria Beckham lookalike". She is said to have had an Australian or New Zealand accent, and is also thought to speak fluent Spanish or Catalan.
Madeleine was nearly four when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in the Algarve on May 3 2007 while her parents dined with friends nearby.
Despite a massive investigation by Portuguese and British police and huge publicity worldwide, she has not been found. It emerged this week that Leicestershire Police have spent nearly £750,000 investigating her disappearance.
We got away from St Paul and followed the Missisippi as far as La Crosse, the east to Milwukee, over Lake Michigan to South Haven and Kalamazoo
"Oh I had a gal in Kalamazoo, zoo zoo" (passes as singing) I'm not joking I did, name of Anya Syjaker we met one dark wet night on a bus near Fort Wayne sad to say that when we got to the interchange she continued north to Kalamazoo whilt I changed for the 'Windy City' never met again though I'll always remember her "Oh I had a gal in Kalamazoo, zoo zoo"
here comes Port Huron lets get this ol' girl on the deck it's getting a bit misty
Next morning rose early and headed east in torrential rainstorm out over Niagra, Lake Ontario, Watertown Cranberry lake then suddenly the port engine sputtered to a stop and an emergency landing was made at Adirodack deep in the mountains of north New York state.
I was lucky to meet this girl in a hot tub, knew all about the P & W Pt6 so after leaving her with her hands deep in maddies engine I gat an early night. it was noon when I left her and after a short hop across lake Champain landed at Newport VT where I hired a 4x4 and drove to Brownington to look at Lawes Farm but found that although I had offered a good price It had been sold to a texan millionaire so landless drove back to MADDIE in a foul mood.
nex day saw us off early for Logan airport Boston MS bur on arriving at the coast found them at state black completely fogged out so onwards to Providence Rhode Island where it was much the same,. we eventually got down at Block Island whe we could see the airport lights down to 1500 feet before the fog closed in, but continued with approach on instruments and got down safely, which brought us to today where we followed the coast taking pics at all the airports down Long Island to JFK where we passed over McQuire, and landed safely at Cape May county Apt at the entrance to the Delaware River in time to join a beach BBQ (A BBQ for a beech Pilot) & maybe I'll dip my toes in the briney
We left Cape May late afternoon and headed across the Delaware to Cape Henlopen heading south along the Atlantic shore, crossing into Maryland at Ocean City, then down that long Accomack finger to the Chesapeake Bridge, Tell me you Yanks does it have navigation tunnels it would appears so.
At Norfolk VA we headed west passing over towns with names so familiar
Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Wakefield, Butterworth, Sydney, Bedford, tell me what wag said "This looks a bit like home we'll call it Isle of Wight"?
next we crossed the brush Mountains, Garden Mountains and into Kentucky
As we followed the Cumberland River we crossed into Tennessee as the light failed the sun fell into a crimson haze, here we lost height on our approach into Nashville, a new experience ILS 20L sidestep to 20C you learn something new every day or you should!
"Go West Young Man" we will tomorrow
You'll come again now, ye hear
Wg Cmdr Percival Prune CDM & Bar (Percy to my friends like you)
