Our morning starts early. We filed an IFR flight plan for Maryland Air Park. |
|
Immediately after take-off was the last time we would see the ground until our arrival in Maryland. |
|
A beautiful morning. |
|
Flying on instruments through the storms, lasted for several hours. |
|
Water has found its way through the air vent. |
|
Four hours later, Jim slips Ivan into Maryland Air Park (2W5). |
|
Jim sits on the wing and fuels. |
|
Jack passes Jim the fuel hose. |
|
Mike installs the gear necessary to sweep the aircraft for EMI. (Electro Magnetic Interference) |
|
After an already exhausting day, the antenna was assembled and installed. |
|
We flew for several more hours, checking all of the spectrums for interference. No interference was found and Ivan was now validated to fly the actual payload. |
|
Jim, Mike and Ivan are done for the day! |
