I am talking about your KR dream. This morning my three year old daughter crawled in bed with us at about 4am. That in itself is a dream come true to have your three year old daughter snuggle up to you in the wee morning hours but today was a different story. She began snoring right in my ear. Then she started tossing and turning and the next thing I knew was that I had this tiny foot digging into my ribs. There was no room to scoot over out of the way so I just rolled over and got out of bed and let her have my spot. So I decided what the heck and stumbled downstairs and turned on the coffee pot then went and took a quick shower to wake up, shaved, dressed, grabbed some coffee and headed to the airport. I arrived at my hanger at 5:15am and preflighted the KR in the car headlights. I was airborne at 5:30am with a good hour till civil sunrise. I flew all around the city enjoying the lights, smooth air and cool air. At 3000' I hit a headwind and backed the throttle off till I showed 90 mph indicated on the AIS. The GPS showed a ground speed of 70mph. I felt like I was flying a J-3 as I slowly crossed the city watching the glistening lights below. After a while, I turned 180° and very quickly attained 110mph without increasing the throttle. Then I applied full throttle and watched as the ground speed on the GPS raced up to 165mph. What a blast I was having. Watching the world come alive from above is something all of you need to do. The sun began rising over Lake Michigan giving me a spectacular view of the planet I live on. Anyway, after enjoying the sun rise, I touched down at 7am and logged another 1.5 hours in my books after tucking her away back in the hanger. An hour and a half later the family and I were in church and I was thanking God for blessing me with all that he had given me. Just thought I would share that bit of inspiration.
