ET's Info-Stew

I've planned a fun flight this Friday for Jenny and me. We're going south to Harris Ranch for lunch. The route goes from Hayward (KHWD) to Tracy (KTCY), then nearly direct to Coalinga (3O8). The flight comes from a recommendation by Jenny's friend Crystal's parents, who fly there occasionally for breakfast. Mike Nichols is the guy who (probably unbeknownst to him) encouraged me to stop putting off my flight training. I have some pictures with us flying his Ercoupe.

The flight should take about 75 minutes, and will be the longest distance cross-country I've ever done, at 272 nautical miles. It's my first $500 hamburger...well more like $350 steak. We'll be sure to take lots of pictures.
