Friday Photo: Cruising Above LIFR
North Carolina back to Iowa, with LIFR blanketing much of the Midwest and the Blue Ridge. On the trip east, conditions lined up perfectly: the entire Cedar Rapids, Iowa (KCID)–Wilson, North Carolina (W03) leg flown at 11,000 feet with a 45-mph tailwind, 65% power LOP, and a comfortable landing with 19 gallons remaining (alternate plus a 45-minute reserve).
