Landing in Regina he sees someone waving at him as he approaches the fuel pumps. "No one knows me here in Regina thinks Jack, am I in trouble" Turns out it is one of Jacks fellow hanger mates from Chilliwak. The notorious crop Duster Dan dropping off the plane in the picture. Dan recognized GEJG and its pilot. They then met later in Swift Current for coffee.
Very late in the trip Jack finally figures out how to use his "auto pilot". Jack says "More elastics more pull. Tray moves back forth for pitch control. Now I figure it out :)! " See the picture
As of yesterday In Manitoba, you can see on the map how far he has travelled. Thats allot of miles.
Tonight he has stopped in Lethbridge where most of his family lives, Mother, 2 brothers and a sister. Good dutiful son checking in w Mom after a long trip =)
Back to reality very soon for Jack. Time to mow the lawns at the cabin and then home to see the wife and kids. I am thinking he will be ready to get back out on a trip in a few weeks. So much nicer just flying around where there are no cops, no chores ( or nothing that feels like a chore when it is about the plane) lots of peaceful uninterrupted me time. But oh the stories he will be able to tell.
Have fun with the sibs tonight....not too many night caps Captain Jack.
Look forward to seeing you back on this side of the Rockies soon.
