Where did you fly today?

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: Where did you fly today?

My wife and I headed down to a rodeo near where I grew up. Camped under the wing of the 180 for the first time. It was a great flight, and gave a couple rides while down there. Forgot to take any pictures, sorry, but really enjoying getting a feeling for what the 180 can do.

Re: Where did you fly today?

I flew my wife and dog up to Lake Champlain in Vermont over the weekend. We landed on the grass strip at the Basin Harbor Club and "camped" in one of their cabins. That is one NICE place! Here are some shots of the trip up:

I keep my plane at an airpark about 90 minutes from home. It was the closest affordable grass strip for me. That arrangement has to change!
Image

I flew over the Shenandoah River on my way to Manassas Regional Airport (KHEF) where I staged the plane for this trip. That is only 15 minutes from home.
Image

Our dog knows the wings provide good shade while we load things up
Image

Then we flew over Lake Marburg in PA
Image

Lake George in NY
Image

And finally arrived at Basin Harbor. Thie grass strip shows up between my struts. The white spec down there is a Seneca from Connecticut.
Image

Here's the cabin we rented:
Image

Old Adirondack chairs are scattered all over the property
Image

The harbor has some pretty big boats in it
Image

Our dog wasn't too excited about the trip home
Image

Here's the video of the whole shebang:

Playing on the river again. Checking it out to see if the rain helped and made it to the lake. Nope.

Re: Where did you fly today?

A couple of new spots.

At the risk of jinxing myself, enjoy the red prop, cause the new one is being delivered tomorrow (and it ain't red).

Really beautiful Flyhound. Great photos and video. Would love to have some strips like that in the desert southwest but it ain't gonna happen.
