Follow up, last night I wanted to do 3 night landings and for various reasons that did not work out. However it is clear they are not back 100% yet, they had 1 person running Clearance, Ground, Tower, and Approach. Early in the day it was 2 (normally 3) so thinking they are doing Approach from the tower for now, not sure. Expect delays.

Madison Tower is back up and running. So mostly normal ops I expect now. Hearing all areas (Clearance, Ground, Tower, Approach/Departure) and hearing them give flight following so that is good.

KMSN tower is now closed as well. KMSN is an un-towered field at this time. Check NOTAMS brush up on those

Madison #KMSN took at hit lat night with all the severe thunderstorms. I dont know if it got hit directly by a tornado but the radar room is damaged and off line. Limited services are going to be provided but unlikely any VFR flight following for some time.

Flew up to KATW to see Mom for her birthday last night. Was such a wonderful flight.

Flight back was totally smooth in the dark. Did not have to touch the airplane for over 10 min and that was just a minor adjustment.

Took my student on his first cross country flight. Of course we went to KOSH.

Mit Bergen kann ich nicht dienen, aber Weser und Steinhuder Meer sind auch schön aus der Luft.

Zwei Rundflüge letzten Samstag, um Leuten aus der Gegend ihre Heimat von oben zu zeigen.

Wasn't planned but to my surprise I was asked to conduct a familiarisation flight on the BR23 915 IFR. I guess it's real name is even longer. And so are the checklists which make every A320 look pale...
Holy moly.
Bottom line it is nothing but a microlight.
A microlight with the avionics of a business jet. Really.
