I needed to fly to remain current to rent at KVTA (I was probably technically 2 days late, but they didn’t mention it, so I didn’t bring it up). The radar looked like it was going to be ugly, I chose to fly NW rather than S to avoid the yellow returns, but when I actually got there and airborne there was no rain, just an overcast at about 6000 ft. So, I made landings at 4 airports and got a nice 1.3 hours on the Hobbs. Temp – 17°C, wind – 010@06, ceilings – overcast @ 6000. Interestingly, in looking back at my log book after I got home, I discovered that I did this same flight in reverse (KVTA-4I3-4I9-KMNN-KVTA) almost exactly 7 years ago (2008-08-17), but it was clear and much warmer (and bumpier) that day (28°C).
