My Pulsar has always been more or less a toy (an expensive one) to take fun trips or just to punch a hole in the sky but recently it has become a tool for me. I have joined the ranks along with several of you who use your plane to commute for work on a regular basis.
I recently took a position in Clovis, NM which is not somewhere Rhonda really wants to live, not so much the area as the distance from kids and grandkids. Our plan is she will stay with our home, her jobs and all the family in the Houston area and I'll secure housing in Clovis, making the trip home every couple of weeks. The flight can be made non-stop in my plane with an average flight time of just under 4 hours. I say average because flying northwest has always been low to avoid the worst of the headwinds but even then, I routinely see 10 - 30 mph on the nose. The opposite is true on the flight back to Houston with 20 - 35 mph on the tail at altitude, putting me home in under 3.5 hours.
Weather can play havoc as it did this week, forcing me to drive the 600+ miles, the last 150 on icy roads.
Hangar space has a 1 to 2 year wait list in Clovis but costs less than 1/3 what I've been paying in Houston. So far, I've been lucky enough to connect with people who had an empty hangar. My plane does not like being tied down outside!
If you're ever in the eastern NM area, look me up. We're looking forward to seeing everyone in KS in May.
Happy New Year!
Jim
