It took my trusty Garmin 396 with its nifty weather radar to get us down to the Shelby County, AL airport on September 19th. A large area of moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico was situated across our path. I filed IFR going directly south out of Memphis. Air traffic control was very accomodating to our deviations around the weather. The graphic from flightaware.com shows the area of weather we had to avoid. The weather was moving to the northeast, so it was easy to come behind it using the Garmin.
We had a nice visit with our friends Carol and Dick Keydoszius. Patty and Larry Duncan showed up the next day. I even managed to get in a little dove hunting and fishing on Saturday morning.
