Blue Skies have returned, after an unusually long and gray week - woof! What absolutely gorgeous flying today.
==
Cessna 08V returned from her annual, and is in top fighting form.
Cessna 68U returned from her annual, and enjoys many fixes. She is at Cable Airport to bless the new Mode C functionality. We expect her return early next week.
Cessna 20U has had new brake pads installed.
Cessna 04H has new navs, but will return to John Wayne next week for a tweak for a sticky nav1.
Cessna 1ES has returned from the engine shop to fix an oil seep.
Cessna 17J has returned from Long Beach with a new tach sending unit.
Piper 85Y has her aux pump reinstalled, and we are awaiting final proving to get her back on the line. We expect her back sometime next week.
Holy cow, thanks to everyone for your patience during the resultant schedule crunch. Sometimes, the planes just like to gang up on us.

CFI Alex has earned some stripes, and will be flying commercially out of New York. His last day with us is Wednesday, and his shoes will be filled by CFI Adam. Farewell, Alex, we hardly knew ye!

TFRs have been cancelled across Orange and San Diego counties. The El Toro TFR remains, as well as the one northeast of San Bernardino.

Not much else to report -- it's quiet around the ranch. Everyone is gearing up for the holiday mania, I suspect.
I don't know what's up with this picture -- I can't stop staring at it. I had no choice but to pay it forward. To quote from Futurama -- "you watched it, you can't unwatch it!!" :)
Best,
- Mike
