I'm so proud of the airplane as it performed flawlessly and burned a consistent 5 gallons per hour the whole way while flying through four states. I met some really nice people on the way down, stopping at Emporia, Kansas, Bartlesville, OK, McAlester, OK, Weatherford, Texas and finally Grand Prairie, Texas. I got rained on a few times and had to dodge some nasty weather but there was a tail wind the whole way and I cruised at 131 mph ground speed most of the way (115 IAS). I didn't run into any turbulence during the trip - it was a smooth ride all the way. I mounted the camera behind me and turned it on for my landing in McAlester, OK. This stop was kind of sentimental because in October of 2003 I picked up my wing spars that Jason Isley made for me in Tulsa and put them on our company airplane at McAlester, then flew with them back to Omaha. They took up most of the walking room in the airplane and barely fit in the door. It was a great thing to fly them back to McAlester installed in the 601. I remember all the dreaming while I was in McAlester back then and now to live the dream yesterday. I can't stop grinning about that today. http://www.cooknwithgas.com/10_5_03_Wingspars.JPG Here is a video of my landing at McAlester: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZlAZSylTNc After arriving in Texas I stopped at Parker County airport just outside of the Mode C veil of DFW to get ready for flying into a control-tower airport. The controller was super nice and helped me the whole way in. For those of you in North Texas, I'm hangared at Grand Prairie for now but hope to be at Midway in Waxahachie when my name comes up on the waiting list.

I am up on the far North side of civilization, where the North Dallas Tollway ends. Danny is 30 minutes farther up the road. There are a couple of more builders over in Ft. Worth, and a guy rebuilding a damaged 701 at Lakeview airport (F69). I haven't moved to a hanger yet but hope to do so over the next couple of months. The few weeks of spring can be a bit gusty in DFW, but the summers are usually 4 months of calm air with half of those around 100 degrees. It will test the cooling abilities of your engine and yourself. Great to have you around!
