Friday Photo: shooting the gap : Air Facts Journal

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

1 min read

The view: Looking and flying due west over the South Carolina upstate—a 25 degree/30 mile deviation to shoot the gap between storms.

The pilot: Chris Granelli

The airplane: 1981 Cessna Centurion 210N

The mission: Mid-summer Friday evening flight from Charlotte to Atlanta to pick up son and bring him home for a weekend.

The memory: Spectacular views of filtered evening light between the dark scattered storms, including more than one rainbow and even more deviations. Well worth the added flight-time. Both ways.

Chris Granelli earned his private pilot license in October 2017, at the ripe old age of 46, promptly purchased a sturdy 182Q, in which he obtained his instrument ticket in 2018, and the commercial ticket in 2019. He currently flies a Cessna 210N, as often as possible, with dreams of bigger/faster/higher for the next one.
