ordered ice cream but couldn’t get it- dam it.
The next day we flew to our delivery point- again too cold, and I did the navigating and did fine. It was nice to look out and see 3 more Bt’s in formation with me. Formation flying is lots of fun but keeps you busy so we fly pretty far apart most of the time. All the way it was quite smokey and got real bad close in so we drug the “iron beam” in.
We caught an airliner in Montgomery and flew to New Orleans where weather closed in and we had to wait until 3 A.M. to go out again. There we “saw the town” with the rest of the passengers (7 more ferry pilots!) and did we do it up brown. First we got hotel rooms- but no one slept- and then cruised the town.
