Another Day in Paradise

The temperature here in the Albuquerque area is to be in the 70s today - can Spring be coming?

My Rebel is "down" right now because of a little oops in the hangar. Until that gets fixed, we will be flying another one of our birds - today, we will fly our Rans S-18 to Belen for breakfast this morning. Belen for Breakfast is a common trip here from Mid Valley Airpark (about 6 miles southwest as the crow flies) and the other airports in the Albuquerque area.

If you are ever in the Belen area - even if you are not a pilot, you can drive to the Belen Alexander Airport (E80) - the second exit coming from the south off I-25. After you exit I-25, turn left and head west to the top of the mesa. Drive a mile or so until you see the Airport on your right. Carolina's Cafe is on the second story of the Fixed Base Operator/Sky Diving hangar. Vicky Husbands makes the best breakfast around! Wonderful breakfast burritos with homemade red and green chile, blueberry pancakes out of this world, and more! In the warm weather, you can sit outside on the deck and watch the parachutes blossom overhead and aircraft flying around the airport.

Should be a beautiful day for flying! Look up - you might see us enjoying the blue skies of New Mexico.

Maybe ... next weekend we will get out and enjoy some camping in our Lazy Daze! Looking forward to seeing more of South Monticello Point and doing some canoeing.
