Good Morning Nostricons.

Yesterday I flew The Countess over to Leesburg, VA, and gave a talk to a large gathering of software developers for a large government agency.

Flying into the DC area requires special FAA training and procedures having to do with the SFRA (Special Flight Rules Area) which is a 30 nautical mile security ring around DC. Leesburg is just inside the SFRA and so involves the least amount of extra procedure to land and take off. All in all, flying in was pretty easy.

It was a 3 hour flight from Kenosha, Wisconsin, where The Countess is hangared, to Leesburg. So I woke up at 4AM, got the plane ready by 5:30, and took off, with my business associate, at 6AM CDT. We landed just after 10AM EDT and were picked up by our hosts who drove us to the auditorium where I spoke. We were back in the air again at 3:30PM EDT and landed back in Kenosha just after 6PM CDT. I was home by 7.

That was a long day, a good day, and the kind of day you can only have if you own your own airplane and fly it for business.

Today I have a class to at 10AM. It's week 11 of my 13 week Clean Code Master Class. This week is all about high level testing strategies.
