David Hamilton has the right idea for a night like tonight. (Reckon it's cool enough to open doors and windows and let heat out.)

"Nose Wheel Lands Just Steps From Tourists" by Reykjavik Grapevine - Nose wheel fell off a General Aviation plane while landing at Reykjavik downtown airport #RKV / #BIRK (not Keflavik Int'l 36km away). Article doesn't say what aircraft type - but the nose wheel held up for a photo is from a light airplane. No injuries on landing of the damaged plane. https://grapevine.is/news/2025/06/12/nose-wheel-lands-just-steps-from-tourists/ #Iceland #aviation #pilot #avgeek

I finished another page of my logbook. Between April 6th and June 11th of this year I managed:
39 Landings
26.4 Hours of flying time
14.8 Hours of Cross Country time
0.3 Hours of actual instrument conditions

So now I have:
640 Landings
364.7 Hours of flying time
138.8 Hours of Cross Country time
8.8 Hours of actual instrument conditions

I've gotten 41 hours this year, which is a lot more than normal for this time. I am loving everything about it (except the bills).

Nearly tied for farthest I've flown so far today I flew from Appleton, WI (KATW) to Prairie du Chien, WI (KPDC). It was very hazy out from fire smoke so going IFR was a good idea in my opinion. Ended up doing a GPS approach which has the great benefit of lining me up to land with no issues.

The terrain around the airport was neat with various glacial features, hills, valleys, and stuff a flat lander like me usually doesn't see. There was a courtesy car available at the airport for use and so my partner, child, and I went to Pete's Hamburger stand. It had a long line and people raving about the burgers and after waiting for quite a long time we got some burgers. I'd say the burgers were pretty good but perhaps not worth the hype people were giving them as they were unseasoned burgers. Mine had caramelized onions all over it which was a good choice.

I wasn't sure how the haze would be for the return trip and I filed IFR and went to fuel the aircraft for the return route. Another kid showed up about my kids age and they became instant best friends so when I got back they were all over the place having a blast. Despite this I managed to convince him that it was time to leave, picked up our clearance on the phone, and departed IFR back. The visibility was better heading back so it probably wasn't strictly needed but I did time a descent I was given at pilot's discretion so I'd go through a cloud. Got that 0.05 actual!

My kid fell asleep pretty soon after we departed and just snuggled on my partner for the flight back. It was smooth going both ways and it was a perfect Saturday activity.

Also I saw that pink plane and I'm low-key kinda jealous.

Pilot Neil Harris brings aerobatic skills to hometown
Pilot Neil Harris will be performing his first solo aerobatic airshow in Thunder Bay, Ont., this weekend. Harris is a commercial pilot by trade, but in his free time you can still find him in the skies. He has competed in aerobatic competitions in the past, but has never put his skills on display for a hometown crowd. Harris will be ...

A student I've been mentoring for years graduated High School and I promised her a flight so yesterday we flew to Iron Mountain (KIMT) and had dinner while she told me her college plans. I'm proud of her and wish her great success in her endeavors.

On departure I took this picture of the Iron Mountain airport.
