The wind is only half what it was yesterday. It's chilly, but I have the long heater hose stuck up inside my jacket has it puffed up with nice warm air. I don't heat the whole cabin because I took the doors off when spring came. I like flying open-cockpit airplanes. You really get the sense of flying when you can feel the air rushing by.
Visibility is also much better without doors.
A lot of the appeal of flying for me is the sight seeing. The leaves are coming out, the wheat fields are bright green, and the land and air are slowly warming up. The first stop this morning was to land and talk to a class of fourth graders about airplanes and our internet project. I was surprised at how enthusiastic they were. They begged me to show them how it flies, so I reluctantly flew .
