BREAKFAST FLIGHT WITH THE GROUTS

 

Jo and I fly once or twice a year with Jerry and Nancy Grout in their V tail Bonanza single engine plane. Our most recent flight was from Mesa’s Falcon Field to Payson AZ for breakfast at the Payson airport restaurant on March 2.

Jerry, who has had a pilot’s license for over 50 years, proudly points to the new Continental engine in his plane.

Snow from a recent winter storm highlighted the Mazatzal mountains near Payson.

The restaurant window nicely frames the Grouts’ plane at the right parked at the Payson airport.

Here is our group getting ready for takeoff from Payson.

Back on the ground in Mesa, it is time to put the bird away. Jerry is operating the electric tug device to roll the plane back into its hangar while Jo begins the task of good passengers to take the bugs off the leading edge of the wings.
