Saturday was a post-frontal weather day - very windy with active turbulence Sigmets. Fortunately, only areas west of Sacramento had high winds at the surface, while most other area airports had only moderate winds. Up above I saw 30mph winds, moderate turbulence and mountain wave with 1000fpm ups and downs downwind of ridges.

C140 Windy Day Brunch

I try to open the year with a January 1st flight, but this year I couldn’t make it due to maintenance. Once the airplane returned into service, I took it up for some pattern practice across three local airports. It was a calm hazy day with an inversion. Did three-pointers and wheel touch-and-goes on a warm 20C January day :)

C140 First Flight of 2026

Here's the #howto on "#unbridging" your fedi account from Bluesky.
I also logged into the #Bridgy site & toggled the Bridging setting to off.
Sharing in light of the news that ICE is now on Bluesky, in case others want to now unbridge from that platform.
I did initially bc all the #avgeek community migrated there instead of the fediverse. Sadly, I'll lose those if they haven't made a fedi account by now, but many didn't bridge properly here anyway.
