sometimes both Val & Jeb help each other preflight even if only one is flying, but all times is the check performed properly. Vital to catch problems when you're still on the ground! Civvie is now being prepped for a quarterly check of regional pollen levels

Val flew the last mission earlier this year in March so Jeb rotates into the cockpit. After taxiing out to Rwy31 he has received takeoff clearance from Flight Control ahead of an incoming Deuce

winds gusting out of the northeast, Jeb banked right after departure to come aroumd KSC over the water to bring him on course for the grasslands to the southwest, which he will give a good fly over at various altitudes (terrain radar is broke it seems...)

working his way in from vectors onto a 20km final, Jeb took the simple approach - also pressed on time as the astronaut training schedule begins to ramp up for Bob's mission next month. No other traffic in the pattern - cleared to land, Rwy31

Jeb taxis back to the HAB past the public tarmac, which is helping to support KSC through hangar and parking fees. Although we don't directly benefit from such income, the money does support our own interests in overall maintenance of the space complex
