Little clip my wingman shot while out checking on the north 40.

Wolfgang himself couldn't have said it better...Nice work Fiddler!

Beautiful day!

Thank you alum04org! Hope everyone is staying safe and well during this challenging time. Things have been a bit stressful around here, but luckily our local tower remains unaffected by the Corona outbreak… https://backcountrypilot.org/images/originalphotos/6489/6422/b87d4b2739b13ef681c387b0.jpg And...
