My new Husky and the trip home

[Scott Perdue]

I bought this A1B in Boise, Id and flew it home over the last two days... 13.6 Hobbs, 6 stops, flew over some incredibly beautiful terrain in the west... to Home south of Fort Worth, TX. Even though it has 31" tires I saw 133MPH TAS.... on 1.25 quarts of oil. Incredible ride! Time for the adventures to begin!

Scott, I thought I heard you on the radio! Please do come back to Idaho and enjoy what those 31 inch tires are made for!!
Congratulations.

Very nice. I live in Ft Worth and I’m looking at getting a Husky myself once I sell my Super Cub.

I learned how to fly at 52F back when it was called Aerovalley.

 

[Scott Perdue]

I live at Bourland Field. 50F. It was an airport back in your time, but mostly for a flight school... since converted to an Airpark.

You will love your Husky! It needs a 24" Husky w/ Aviat Aircraft Decal on the vertical fin/rudder then we can be twins. Nice job Scott and congratulations!!!!

Hey Scott, just had dinner with Bruce Johnson.

Scott, a few things I would do to your airplane is install 4 Aero LED landing and taxi lights and put an MT Ultra on it. Bruce said it was ok to spend your money.

[Scott Perdue]

Kurt, it would have been fun to join you guys at dinner! I assure you more pictures are coming.... I did a video Trip Report of the trip home (was unsure of folks reception here on the forum, so I didn't post it here. Its on my Youtube channel: FlyWire).

I'll definitely be doing an Ultra, not sure about the AeroLED landing taxi lights though... I'm afraid of flying at night

 

[Scott Perdue]

Kurt wanted pictures:
It was warm where I came from... but I knew it was cold where I was going to start from so I packed Long Johns.... and I thought I packed my pants. Some other random shots on the way home.
It goes without saying.... By the way the Heat in the airplane is really excellent!
