Mike got two flights in today on his 260.
The plane looked like it was flying great.

This video is the first flight.

The last pic is the last we saw of Mike.
He said something about looking for a ride to Tucson.

The plane flew a lot better than I thought it would and I appreciate everyone's help. I'll get the cowl fixed and get 'er back in the air in no time. Shouldn't be a big deal.
