Overdue Update

What's crackin' y'all?

So it has been a fairly uneventful couple weeks. I'll sprinkle in some pictures down at the bottom to hold your interest.

Louisville, KY- Well, not much to say here. We were based out of Bowman Field just east of the main airport in Louisville. We had battles with weather and frustrating battles with Air Traffic Control. Its always nice when they kick you out of their airspace and when you ask if there's a time of day where they can more easily accommodate us their response is: "After my shift or on my days off." Dicks. So, after dealing with ATC for a week or so it became apparent that the remaining work was too cramped for two planes so I moved on. To where, you ask... well, keep reading... jeez.

Lexington, KY- If you've read my entire blog like a good student, you're asking yourself: "I swear he was in Lexington before." You would be right. Things at Lexington have changed quite a bit since last time. In my Lexington post from before I mentioned the Comair crash that occurred. Well, they have since made a repeat of that impossible. The runways have been reconfigured in such a way that they no longer intersect. I'll try and get a picture soon to demonstrate. Also, the FBO I am based at (which was really nice before) is even nicer now. Bigger facility, TV's in the bathroom, what more could you want?

Well, I'm going to be in Lexington for a while working on 3 different projects. For now, enjoy some pics:




KLOU- Bowman Field

Papa John's Cardinal Stadium... the basketball arena is the KFC Yum! Center... hilarious.


Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby


KSDF- Louisville Standiford Int'l


Plenty of parking at the UPS world hub


KLEX- Lexington Bluegrass Airport. Holding short of 22 at Golf for departing traffic.

The capital building in Frankfort, KY

KFFT- Frankfort Capital City Airport in Frankfort, KY... not to be confused with EDDF- Flughafen Frankfurt am Main in Frankfurt, Germany.

Much love,
