Guys,

Just got back from Dr office. Turns out my bad head cold is actually Covid 19. It's a mild case because I've had both shots, but still have quarantine for 10 days.

That throws Thanksgiving out the window.

So Ron, have you told Uncle Joey and Uncle Andy about this??!!

Not a great picture, but here's the P-8 doing laps around my town. It's heading back to Florida now.

Callsign was PELICAN 89. Sounded like they were just training, doing practice approaches (ILS and RNAV and pattern work).

Really sorry to hear this, but glad it isn't serious, and don't look at it as a loss of Thanksgiving but a gain of lots of monitoring time.

Okay, just thinking when I read this, isn't this what you guys do (really successfully) every day?
