Flying with RobW56

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!

Awesome pictures, looks like a fun day. That last one of your 180 looks like it's a screenshot out of flightsim for some reason haha.

That's Goller Heights, about 4 miles northeast of Garlock.

Re: Flying with RobW56

I had the day off yesterday so I loaded my mountain bike into the 180 and flew up to Lee Vining. It's one of the only airports around that I'd never been to before so I wanted to check it out. I rode to the Whoa Nellie Deli and had some Tioga Taquitos for lunch. Then I rode down as close as I could get to the tufa formations on Mono Lake then bushwhacked the rest of the way in to check them out.

The wind had picked up quite a bit by the time I took off making for a bumpy ride over the Sierras

It looks like it was beautiful there. What are those formations from? Weird...

Re: Flying with RobW56

While crossing the Pacific Ocean today I had a lot of time on my hands. I made this video on my iPhone to recap flying adventures of 2017. I hope 2018 will be even more fun!
