Not much going on lately. Here's what I know:
Piper 85Y has begun her Annual Inspection. We refuse to estimate downtime, because we're just bad at it with that plane. More as I know it.
Cessna 17J is humming along.
Cessna 1ES is all smiles.
Cessna 04H remains down indefinitely. More as I know it.
Cessna 20U is looking stylish on the ramp.
Cessna 68U isn't complaining.
Cessna 630 has completed her engine break-in, and while there were a few glitches (mainly regarding too-high oil pressure), we seem to have things ironed out. Please watch the oil pressure gauge on runup and departure!
Cessna 25R shows her frog-legs to all the boys.
I was asked a question in the office today which I do not know the answer to. It is another charting mystery, and right here in our backyard this time. I submit it to the group's awe-inspiring wisdom.
Or at least your Google-Fu, which certainly exceeds my own chops.
Here is a snippet from the San Diego Terminal Chart, as found at SkyVector.com.
You'll see just offshore from Oceanside Municipal Airport, a 4-pointed ninja star, which they have helpfully called VPOCN.
Some of you may recognize the VP prefix. I won't spoil the easter-egg hunt if you wanna chase down what VP might be.
For the rest of you -- what's the deal? What's a VPOCN? :)

Simply gorgeous today. Man oh man. Weather coming in tomorrow -- let's hope it stays high and dry here for the weekend.
Blue Skies,
