Ya know the irony of that photo - HAF was in a VFR bubble!

Yep, but it was the smallest VFR bubble I've seen. The fog banks were maybe 100 feet tall and stood in a wall around the airport.

"But," the intrepid pilot asked himself, "for how long?" I'll write up more when I get a chance, just checking the board while catching up on paperwork.

Here's a photo album, if anyone is interested:

How did you like the ANR headset? I got to use one for a medium cross country trip and thought it was great. Pricey though.

It was great. I used it for a little under 20 hours over the last few days, and it was comfortable the whole time. I was also much less fatigued at the end of the flights, I think it made a big difference.

The set I used were the Avshop A450s, which cost about $250 and have an audio in and cell phone interface. I think it's a rebranded lightspeed, and it was very comfortable. avshop.com

The headset I used was a lightspeed. It was pretty pricey as the whole ANR concept was brand new. I liked it but couldn't afford it. The boss decided to use it when he flew.

Verrrrry nice

Those pictures were fantastic!
Whenever I hear y'all talking about your flights, I always think that I must live a dull life. How wonderful it must be to get up & out & around in a plane like that!

There's nothing stopping YOU from doing the same darn thing!

Nice pictures.

Argh. You've got me looking at the used plane section of the Cirrus Design website
