What a beautiful little airport. You can't go wrong with eating cookies while swinging on a porch swing. That prayer at the end was wonderful too. As always thanks for bringing us along with you guys and blue skies 👍😁

Good job handling the variable crosswind/gusts! Look forward to the next one!

[@Parr4theCourse]

Weather changes a bit for the next one, had to shoot an approach . . .

[@ProPilotPete]

@@Parr4theCourse looking forward to it

[@janisparr8592]

We always seem to have crosswinds.

[@ProPilotPete]

@@janisparr8592 you’re from Kansas, you can handle the wind!

[@prestonmiller9552]

Doing a lot of my flying in South Texas around Corpus you have to stay proficient in cross wind and gusty wind landings. It's almost the norm there.

[@Parr4theCourse]

I would imagine with the winds off of the Gulf. Hope all is well in Nebraska!!

[@janisparr8592]

We always seem to get some crosswind component around here too!

[@jameshyatte7230]

I always enjoyed cross wind landings, call me crazy but enjoy the challenge. Nice little FBO there!!

[@Parr4theCourse]

I seem to land better, concentrating more I guess!!!

[@janisparr8592]

I loved the DeQueen FBO - had good fuel prices too.

[@donemory2615]

Nice flight guys! DE/NE Ohio

[@Parr4theCourse]

Hey Don, hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!

[@jamess6656]

The wind changes were wild.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Weren't they though!!!

[@janisparr8592]

We experienced that so much on this entire trip.

[@jeffault6728]

Great video. I did most of my IFR training into/out of OKM

[@Parr4theCourse]

First time there for us, nice little airport!!!

[@randalldevalcourt4000]

Good decision making my friend and it doesn't hurt to have a good co-pilot with ya to ease the load!!

[@Parr4theCourse]

Absolutely, Good to hear from you again! We called ya to see if you had any free time when we were in Monroe . . .

[@timothypitts4224]

Another great video!

[@Parr4theCourse]

A better one is coming soon😜🤪😜🤪

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Nice flight complete with cookies 😂. Thanks for the prayer!

[@Parr4theCourse]

The “prayer” was at the FBO, nice to see that!!!!

[@berniebrown9115]

Always enjoy you and your beautiful wife in an airplane.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Thanks, we appreciate it . . .

[@janisparr8592]

Thank you for watching!

[@Andre.D550]

I’m late, 9 min in fact 😎

[@Parr4theCourse]

We'll forgive you . . . . this time!!

[@janisparr8592]

But we’re so glad you’re here!!! 😁

[@RetreadPhoto]

I am totally confused, you took off and then started doing your flight planning? 9 knot wind isn’t MVFR, but OVC 0012 is.

[@Parr4theCourse]

We took off VFR and we were getting another takeoff/landing in the books along our route. Plan was to stop at any airport close along our direct route to Ruston, LA. we were looking at "possibilities" but some winds were too strong, Weather "initially" at De Queen were reporting "calm" winds, but by the time we got there the winds that were at airport along our route made it to De Queen, so ended up landed with a gusty cross wind anyway. Then we would file an IFR flight plan into Ruston as there was a weather front South of Texarkana. Minden was MVFR and 9knts, we didn’t go there because it was MFVR, Janis was simply calling out winds as well, so we could get a feel for how they were progressing along our route. We didn’t go to Mc Alester as I wanted to get a little closer to Louisiana…. Does that help clarify? Or did I miss your point?
