This afternoon the Quest factory workers took a scheduled break to celebrate the handing over of N498KQ to JAARS. A few videos, a few short speeches, lots of cheers and applause, then handshakes and handing over of keys. After little bit of cookies and coffee, it was time to get back to the assembly line. Tonight we finished up some of the "acceptance" flying, giving me a bit of proficiency and night flying with the Quest instructor.
Tomorrow Mark and I hope to leave for our two-day flight to Waxhaw, NC and the JAARS team that is eager to see their first Kodiak. The prognosis charts look pretty good for the "south" route we've layed out, over Salt Lake City, angling over to Four Corners area, then east from New Mexico. Or, if the North route looks good, we could head over Montana, then down over Wyoming and across Kansas and the Midwest. These NOAA charts show that the high pressure systems are moving in just as we have been asking for.
