Alright Zane this is as close as I have ever got to posting a pic. I read your how to re: Mac/Firefox but but no "copy image address" noted with the right click. I used "copy image location" and this is what I got. I'm trying to get it to post like the cool dudes do it. Right out there with the with the thread w/o having to click on the url thingie..

Oh, it's on! Google chrome was the answer to the mystery of my life..
Stand by for pics!!!!

If you notice at the lower left corner of my screen capture pictures of the 180 engine mount, there is a penguin foot. That means Linux which is free, open source, and I don't have to buy anti virus. I use Chrome and Firefox. Funny how if I want to paste something into a post on Supercub.org, I have to use Firefox since chrome won't do it on that site. Took me awhile to figure that one out.

ATTN: THREAD HI_JACKING! ! !

Does anyone know who owns the red and white 170 in that picture?

I sure do! it belongs to a guy named Tom from Roseburg, OR

True, it is our family 170. But I am almost more excited about learning to post a pic tonight than I am about the airplane. Anyway, wife says we got to go to town, so I'll post a bit more when we return.
Hi Rob/Stacey

I have it's twin, just with the tailwheel on the wrong end!

Hi Tom! Go ahead and post a bunch of Idaho pics. I'm in the northwest and the wx is too shitty to fly much, looking forward to Johnson Creek!

Jered, that avatar does demand a double take when I glance over it. Nice looking 172. I'm surprised we haven't crossed path's up in this area.
Rob, what are you doing up here in the NW, and where are you doing?
Well,while your stuck up here I'll give you a couple JC's. I need the practice, this uploading, moving around and attaching is pretty involved.
My kids have been talking about this throw-back Thursday stuff, and been posting pics that they refere to as back in the day, so I'll start with throw-back JC 2011 since that was my first visit.

Davis and I somewhere over eastern OR staying above the clouds.

Fuel up in McCall where we met highroad and family, then were escorted into JC by there awesome Pacer.

One of our daily escorts that showed us the backcountry for our first visit. "Blinky"

Flew cover while Dave and Dee explored Soldier Bar. We didn't land our first year there. Left the wheel pants on for a reason. Very tempting to visit them all.

Stretch at Big Creek after a couple hours of flying all the drainages and providing cover for all the guys on the ground w/o wheel pants.

Evening return from McCall topped off for the next day.

Seriously the happiest place on earth.
Well that took an hour. Better go give the wife some attention cause I'm gettin the stink eye.
Good night

Tom, I'm up visiting my parents in Vancouver. Nice pics by the way

Good job. You have learned to ride the bicycle, now you can do the same thing everywhere on the internet.

Enjoy the visit Rob, and enjoy the nice wx while your here.
Here's a little something to keep you warm while visiting.
Built by another Rob

Here's the Pyro now, who was our other trusty leader for the week.

Here he is off roading into vines or gooey moore.

Followed by breakfast at Dixie Town.


Thanks for the sign off Zane. It was the video for idiots that can't read that did it for me. I might give video's a try later.

And Jered, you mentioned in another post about the black closed cell insulation. I've been going through the 170 with it from the baggage compartment forward for the last year now. I started with the stuff from Spruce that is provided by Super Sound Proofing in CA. It's very brittle and doesn't make a very good interior finish. I just received a batch from Selkirk and it's much more durable. I will start a thread when I get a chance of my "Build off" specimen so we little guys can keep up with the 180's. Oh and by the way, when I ripped out all the insulation 3 yrs. ago to re-do the interior, I can testify that it doesn't stay warm in the cabin during the winter, and it is VERY LOUD!! I was borrowing my friends Bose X's the other day to see if I need to get myself a pair, and I can't keep the intercom from opening up until I pull the power back. I use the old Sennheiser noise canceling head phones, and they seem to handle it better. But believe me, you pull your head set off in flight, and it is screaming in there.

Hey look, I figured out how to do pictures too! Pretty soon I'm gonna loose the velcro shoes and maybe even the nosewheel!

Thanks for the infor with foam. I'm anxious to see more pictures.

Alright, pic post training tonight is brought to you by JC 2012.
Departing after an IFR climb to VFR on top then east.

JC arrival, sit down and take it all in. So peaceful.

The graduates, with one of our leaders.

Whhhheeeeeeee

Exhausted!
Goodnight

Great thread and pics!! this one you need to send to Z for the contest! Awesome

Well I'm not paying any attention as requested but these are certainly some nice pictures; and airplanes.

Attempting to post a video tonight, but had to bring in the teenage help.



And it seems to have worked.
That will take a bit more practice before I can solo on the vid posting.

Anyway, this is a quick clip of a before work morning flight on my birthday last summer. One of the local guys has this nice strip right in our neighborhood, and lets me land on it. It's quite fun, like a little piece of the ID backcountry. And no fancy go pro cam here. Just click play on the iphone and prop it up against the windshield and wah-law..
See ya next lesson.
Good night

Going solo here, posting a vid at work on my lap top.
This is my first attempt at sticking the camera phone up against the windshiled, found out that gravity does prevail and my cheapo rigging only works under deceleration, not so good under acceleration. Nothing like paying attention to flying the airplane and not being distracted with the distracting gadgets.
This is a landing at the field where I used to hangar the plane. It is walking distance from my house. I miss basing there in the summer, but way to muddy and sloppy in the winter.
