Getting to know X-Ray.....

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!

Getting to know X-Ray.....

Took the new to me Maule out yesterday with the Dog and Kids to fish and picnic. Typical Oregon spring weather......dead calm to gusty to calm in minutes, rain, sun and and snow in the coastal range peaks. Hard to keep the camera lens clean with all the water, but it gives an idea of what went on. Still lots to learn when it comes to flying the ol' girl.......

Really great colors on the coast right now with the cranberry bogs, gorse in bloom and the green/blue water.
