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?

I'm sitting in the cafe at KAWO eating lunch,
a Commanche just taxied by with the exact same paint job as MrPants' Pacer.
Looked good, but I gotta say it looks better on the Pacer!

Re: Where did you fly today?

My plane is down for a couple months but luckily I have plenty to fill my time.

Yesterday was my first day towing in the Pawnee, up until now had been in the super cub.

It amazes me how much empty space there is available in that thing without a hopper. Also behind the pilot.

Thanks! Last visit to this particular site was before the conversion, the prop, and the Sportsman. Definitely noticed the difference. 8)

Re: Where did you fly today?

This was from last Sept but since I figured out how to post pic's I thought I'd post these that I like. I farm one of the many fields in the pic.

Agreed, I just flew in and out of San Jose (was down at Cal-Poly as we sponsor the rodeo) and the hills were a vibrant green.
