A little winter fun!

Trying to finally do some editing with the GoPro
Did this a couple of days ago and yes it really is winter. Look for the floating ice chunks in the River :D

Re: A little winter fun!

Good one, I like it when watching a vid and the pilot is making similar inflight choices like I would, as to touch down areas, let's go look at this, take off here, etc.! Mid 40's up here, "my" local ski area only has the bunny hill open, and too windy to fly for about 2 weeks now, I needed to see that and it makes me want to head down there even though I have the wheel skis on.

Looks like you have some great flying areas. If the clouds will clear out a bit here ...

Looks like a blast Trent. How will you get that 207 stripped and painted this winter with all this good weather to goof around in???

Nice! Hey Trent, did you ever get self serve fuel in Green River. It’s not listed on ForeFlight. How much?

I think it's called a siphon hose, aka the Quilcene credit card.
Mums the word.

Yeah they installed the biggest avgas tank you've ever seen at a small town airport. First class delivery system too. Well done Green River!

Rumor is TangoFox has emptied the contents of that big tank into his Cub in the last few months tho #-o
