Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Scary thought, though I really hope it ends up that way!

It’s been a fun journey getting to this point for sure. Not as smooth or as quick as I would have hoped, but fun nonetheless.

Some more from the trip and the return. Luckily I had some flexibility to push the return a day. Winds back home were nasty and low level turbulence was bad enough to make one our H-60 flights to end early. Today was super smooth though and everyone was good to go on the ride home.

Re: CamTom12's Aerial Wanderings

It makes me want a Rupp Racer, first time I've seen pictures of one and it looks sweeet. Kids are great but I'm long over that as a motivator.

It's difficult to prove the antithesis of Cameron's post because there's no evidence of a negative, but if you need some birth control, give me a call.

This is the only one. It’s a one-of-a-kind departure from a Piper Pacer. It’s a wonderful airplane, and does a lot of things pretty well.

Ha! Thanks, but I believe we are officially past that stage. This is last week on my 60th birthday with my three daughters. Ages (from left to right)29, 31 & 29

At least I'm not the only one who doesn't wear a helmet on the ski hill.
