Refuel Time-Both Airplane and Pilot 12:30pm 24Jan21

C46 Photos of Dumbo and Hot Stuff, you can see high sun at 12:30pm. Really doesn't get very high in the sky this time of year. The moon does but not the sun. Moon photos are coming this way.

Sun and two C-46 Commandos Dumbo and Hot Stuff taken with engine running waiting for my turn at the fuel pumps, $5.81 gallon for avgas:

Now just fastened seat belt shoulder harness, yes 4-point system for doing aerobatics, something to take up when you're 62-years old. Loops, rolls are fun! Getting ready to start engine and wouldn't you know it. I was stuck, had to shutdown and remove packed snow from right wheel, it wanted to put me into the fuel cabinet. Good thing my brakes were warmed up, new snow melted quick while taxiing to runway.
