The Eagle Has Landed

I have returned home. The client released his employees at 1400 and then he and I worked until about 1600. He had a dinner to attend, so I decided to bail.

As I went through my prelaunch countdown and the main engines came up to full power, I called Karol to let her know I was leaving and would be home as soon as I could. Traffic proved to be a bit thick and I did not make optimum time.

However, when I got below Exit 7 on the Jersey Turnpike, it thinned quite a bit. I was able to use a power setting of 3,300 rpm while keeping a sharp eye for the constabulary. I glided into home base at just shy of 1900.
