The summer monsoon pattern continues, although not as active as we would like. Beautiful blue and white skies this morning along with the occasional stray shower, easily dodged. Except for the one that just happened to be sitting over the downwind leg for RWY 03. Click any image to launch the photo browser in full resolution.

Still Smokey
Plenty of fires in the southwestern US means the skies are still filled with smoke and haze. A tad cooler this morning and DA was less than 7000'. A nice 1.1 in the Monocoupe 110.

TFR
The Clay Fire is just 7 miles ENE of town center and a fire fighting TFR is up. No smoke overnight. Got 1.1 on the tach this morning. Nice flight.

Hot and Smoke
It has been over 100 degrees every day for the last couple of weeks, many up to 106. We have plenty of smoke from AZ and UT fires. Not the most pleasant flying weather. Took the 110 up for 45 minutes. No pictures from the air, too much smoke to get a decent picture.

150 Hours
When I was working on the restoration of NC12350, there were Monocoupe owners who gave me grief for how long it was taking me to finish the project.

Shifting from spring into summer here in northern AZ. Afternoon temps creeping up into the mid 90's. Nice smooth air this morning for another hour in the 110.
