How does that plane fly?
STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT

In order for an airplane to fly straight and level, the following relationships must be tr­ue:

Thrust = Drag
Lift = Weight

­­If, for any reason, the amount of drag becomes larger than the amount of thrust, the plane will slow down. If the thrust is increased so that it is greater than the drag, the plane will speed up.

Similarly, if the amount of lift drops below the weight of the airplane, the plane will descend. By increasing the lift, the pilot can make the airplane climb.

Can’t see any planes today with the heavy overcast skies, but I could hear them. Log was wet and unusable so I added in a replacement in the new baggy. Thanks for my POTD! CoolCoolCool #1,145

Took the day off to take family from Arizona to the airport. Taking advantage of the good weather to cache on the way home. TFTC

Memfis Mafia and I had plans to get near 1000 caches this weekend in South Dakota. Come Thursday when we were to pick up our rental car from Enterprise they said sorry we do not have a car for you. Even though we reserved one a month in advance. There was not another car in town to rent so we called off our trip.

Today we ran out to get enough caches to finish our Hidden Creatures. We ended up over 100 on the day and about 10% of out plan. In any case this was a cache we got today. Thanks for the hide.

Thanks imusttravel2000 for this Cache. We always appreciate Cache owners for their contribution to the game.

We are on a crazy family mission to get into 5 digits for finds this year. This is find 6769 for us.

Memfis Mafia

We will add more details as we go and most likely talk about our experiences on our weekly podcast

Went out and about with Sqweeter today for some caching adventure. First we went south and then we headed north, didn't have too much time left but we did cover a couple power trails. It was hot, glad to get some AC between caches. We've been watching the planes go over on their way to DIA. Nice series off a hardly used road. Lots of jack rabbits and yellow flowers today. Everything was in good shape here, last cache of the day. Thanks for the smiley! Find #2546.

Out with LAsouthpaw spending time a little further out gathering some of the finds that I still need in the area. These quick ones fit the bill. Quite a lot of air traffic today. All is well with this cache. Thanks for the ones in the area IMT. SL
