Just some pictures

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!

Re: Just some pictures

Hey Matt,
Sorry no video. I've been busy being my kids, butler, chauffeur, handyman, and bank. I was just lucky to sneak out for some flying.

Hey Butch,
The heavy duty gear from Alaska Bushwheel does not change the IAS or add any weight. I did bend the old original gear landing on our ranch near Kooskia, Idaho. The 29 inch Airhawks did slow me down at least 10 mph IAS, but its worth it for off field landings. I also added an oversized tailwheel from Gar-aero with a 337 field approval and it does a great job on soft or rough surfaces too.

Merry Christmas

Picture of a bullet hole in Bell Jet Ranger Helicopter in Lewiston, Idaho. The a-hole that shot the helicopter is not in jail and has not been charged. People get in more trouble by aiming a laser pen at a news helicopter. The bullet hit one of the primary control tubes.

Hey James- just letting ya know, that barely counts. To be official, a ski swap is supposed to be performed outside in the snow with a headlamp. All the parts must be at least -15F, and there needs to be sufficient snow to guarantee that anything you drop due to wearing clumsy mittens, will bury itself at least 6" below the surface. If you don't spear yourself with a cotter pin at least once, you're required to start over. :mrgreen:

Funnin' aside, I'm sure you guys with immaculate, ballroom hangars know how good you've got it. Maybe someday... [-o<

Have fun with those things!!

Got the skis on, and now all the snow is gone. I'll have to fly out a ways to find some of the white stuff.
