This morning I fueled the airplane with 10
gallons of premium and took off for Wendover.
I climbed to 5900’ as I departed the cross wind leg from runway 34. As I flew over Magna I uploaded a flight plan
and engaged the autopilot in the HSI & ALT mode. As I flew over the Salt Air Resort I started
my climb to 7500’. As I arrived over the
evaporation ponds north of Grantsville I climbed to 8500’. I flew to Wendover over the Bonneville
VOR. I landed in Wendover and parked on
the ramp.
There were 4-other RV’s parked there. An RV-7, an RV-6, and RV-8 and an RV-7A. There was also a Cessna 152 which had taken
off from South Valley Regional about 20 minutes before I did. I went inside and purchased an Historic
Wendover Airfield cap. I then got back
into the RV-12 and flew back to South Valley Regional. My trip out took 1.2 hours. My flight back was 1.1 hours. It was a great day to be in the air. Upon my return and purchased another 10
gallons of fuel and put it in the tank. As I finished fueling the Cessna 152 I
followed to Wendover entered the pattern and landed. It is a small world. I hope to go up again next week.
