Description:
A quiet ending was in store for another extraordinary day of SeaRey flying.
The Daily Flight Summary:
Walla Walla (ALW) to Brownlee Reservoir, 1.7 hours
Brownlee Reservoir to Mountain Home (U76), ID, 2.3 hours
Mountain Home to Dirt Road
Dirt Road to Salt Flat
Salt Flat to Tooele Valley (TVY), UT, 3.8 hours
Tooele Valley to Provo (PVU), UT, 0.8 hours
Total for Day, 8.6 hours
Direct Distance from ALW to PVU = 454 nm, or 6.5 hours at 70 knots.
“Well, a 76% time efficiency is a big improvement over yesterday, discounting the fact that you had a tail wind much of the day.”
“Can I help it if Peli won’t fly straight?”
“It isn’t Peli that can’t fly straight.”

'Too much lonesome flying - you're talking to yourself again!'

Peli is no stranger to salt, Andy, at least not the liquid kind. Peter & Paula flew Peli all over the Bahamas, into the Baja, and British Columbia. They must have been rigorous in their maintenance because there is no sign of corrosion.<br /><br />'The salt from lightly rolling over the Great Salt Lake flats, however, left a white stain on the tires for many landings!'<br /><br />(Who said that?)

It is past time for an intermission on this mission report. Where are all those pictures of your trip to Glacier, Capt. Spratt? No matter how beautiful one was, it isn't enough!
