When a friend calls on a Saturday and asks for a “Ride” to Salem to meet his wife how do you say no? Weather is good and were always looking for a new destination. KAWO is only 50 miles from S50 and a simple 30 minute flight. We loaded up with Little Dude and headed north. We met up with our friend and visited his hangar and got a quick tour of his aircraft he is working on. We didn’t stay long at the airport before departing to our drop off location KSLE. We did notice that there is an on airport breakfast/ lunch restaurant that had an ample deck for outside dining and lots of aircraft parking out front. We did notutilize any FBO’s services at this stop.

We let the little dude free from his car seat on this leg. I was in the back with him. Normally his is in his car seat for the whole trip. We aren’t ready to trust him after the Tillamook incident. We also have 2 seats removed on this flight which gave him a ton more room to stand and move around.
