Captain Jack's Route 66 Adventure: September 2008
http://capnjackon66.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Captain Jack's Route 66 Adventure. Thursday, September 25, 2008. Flying a San Francisco Bay Tour. It's been a long time since I posted anything here, but a recent comment about the San Francisco Bay Tour inspired me. If you are arriving by air instead of departing PAO or SQL, you need to contact Norcal on an appropriate frequency and request a bay tour. My understanding is that you may be given a higher altitude in that case. Posted by capnjack96934 at 2:32 PM. View my complete profile. Day 15 Part Two: ...

Captain Jack's Route 66 Adventure: July 2007
http://capnjackon66.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Captain Jack's Route 66 Adventure. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Chicago, IL (PWK) to Birmingham, AL (BHM). 654 statute miles (568 nm). Time enroute: 6:33 (including a 65 minute food and fuel stop). Flying IFR out of Chicago meant waiting while they fit us in to the busy area traffic. While holding at the run-up, we saw this classic B-17 arrive. I think today's flight was the most challenging of the trip so far. It got the juices flowing but never crossed the line to anxiety-inducing. Sunday, July 29, 2007.

Have the charts and info you need at hand. Electrical equipment off before starting engine. Taking off from Evanston, WY (EVW). In my...

Captain Jack's Route 66 Adventure. Friday, December 08, 2006. The plane went into the shop at the club on Wednesday for a few tweaks. I flew it yesterday and it is doing great. I was also contacted by another member of my club, who is potentially interested in flying along. This gives me more incentive to start nailing down details like dates.
