Our friends Paula and Jeremy have Jeremy's younger brother Jason visiting from Puerto Rico the past few weeks. Jason has never flow in a true small plane. Back home he has flow in a nine seat twin of a local commuter airline, but never a single engine general aviation plane. And since he is only visiting the area and here just for few more days we wanted to get him up for a birds-eye view of the Upstate. It was cloudy and there were a few very light scattered showers around but it was otherwise a perfect time. It was nice and smooth ( no storms ) and cooler too.

We had a great time seeing the local area and around Clemson, Pendleton and we were even able to spot and photograph the construction of their new home.

Later this afternoon Kristie and I flew to Winder to the Spitfire Deli. If you read my blog you already know how I rave about Celia and her food.

We had to dodge a few harder showers and the new weather radar feature on the plane was fantastic. Winder doesn't report weather and as we got closer it was obvious they were having a hard shower at the airport. So we diverted to a nearby small rural air field to wait about 20 minutes for the cloud to pass.

As always Ian and Celia hit a grand slam with the food and we returned to Anderson stuffed and very happy.

No supper was needed as we watched a little Pink Panther action on DVD and relaxed.

Had a message waiting so I am filling in on camera tomorrow morning so I guess I need to get some sleep here in a few minutes.
