A tornado took out the MQP VOR in Texas yesterday. It's part of the minimum network so it should be replaced but yikes. For those unfamiliar, VORs are an older technology for navigation that aircraft used (not used much anymore). However, if GPS becomes unusable they're all we have.

Vandenberg AFB with a 5:30am Easter wakeup call. US military launch, on the rocket of a man with a spazzy right arm attempting to sink the US government and make himself richer.

After the Young Eagles rally I had some time and decided to fly around a little. I got a ram mount for my yoke and wanted to test it a bit (I like it a lot more than having the ipad on my thigh). I also "suffered" a little spontaneous disassembly of my air vent and had to wait until I was back on the ground to mess with it.

Overall, a nice flight seeing things starting to turn green.

Cessna skyhawk instrument panel with a mix of old and new instruments. On the yoke is an ipad running foreflight.

The wolf river in Wisconsin. Very winding path it cuts through forests.
Air vent tube fell out of wing hole in cockpit. Annoying but not dangerous (unless you're fiddling with it during flight I guess).

A successful Young Eagles rally at 79C this morning! The clouds lifted and we had four aircraft going. I flew 8 total and all 8 had never been on a small plane before. It was a challenging crosswind at Brennand since the runway isn't very wide, but I had some great landings.

Four small aircraft staged around a concrete area where various groups of people are standing. Clouds loom dark overhead
