LOL How funny is that! Your identity has been exposed.

Thanks Sam.

Allright guys, come clean, who do ya fly for?

Alaska!

Big plans for this weekend! Heading to KPUW (where my 180 is currently) Thursday afternoon and hopefully launching for Alaska sometime on Friday. Direct to Kamloops to clear customs, and then north towards Prince George and onto Mackenzie to top the fuel tanks. The weather is looking great through the weekend so the plan is flying up the trench to Watson Lake. Flight plan is +/- 12 hours total and I like to plan as I go for layovers, plus that helps eliminate some of the "get-there-itis."


Second trip to Alaska in as many years. I could get used to this.

Really like that paint job. Nice score!!

Picked up the 180 today. After an insurance satisfying checkout I loaded up and left the Palouse and headed for Kamloops B.C. to clear customs.

After clearing customs and topping the fuel tanks I flew up through the Cariboo country of British Columbia and tied down for the night in Mackenzie. Vickie at the airport is just as awesome as everyone says, offered me ice cream, found me a hotel room while I was tying my plane down, and then gave me a tour of town and dropped me at my hotel.

Thanks x2! It was a short visit but good as always.

A beautiful 170 moved in next to me. How about the ivory and blue!

Very nice! Is yours the same color or is the picture deceiving and making yours look ivory as well?

Very nice! I like it!

While I like the safety factor of the bright yellow paint on my 180 I have to say that ivory and blue you've got is beautiful. A really smart looking plane and you're going to have a great time flying it I'm sure.

Thank you. I do like the bright colors for conspicuity as well but I couldn't turn down this beauty.

Are you missing the Sedan yet

The Sedan is a wonderful plane. For me, the 180 is more wonderfuler.

Perfect, at least you where once a member of the "Holy Order of the Round Tails". I fixed the last word for you

She does! She's on her way to Paris with a couple friends for a few weeks of vacationing in the city, and then off to hike in the Alps and Pyrenees.
