Sweet. How lucky are we to have aeroplanes and places to go fly them?

Nice compilation, great year! You missed one spot though...

I talk to a lot of pilots that don't fly much since they have had kids. You have it figured out, good job!

This is what it's all about, fantastic job Rob and Stacey.

It's not just logistics. Due to lack of sleep I mostly feel like I would kill everyone while flying in a half-stupor.

Sleep deprivation is a mofo.

Very cool! So apparently Tapatalk doesn't like Vimeo video links. Anyway, that's the way it should be! Flying with the family! Does our hearts good seeing so many doing it now.

I finally buckled down and spent the last few weeks studying and flying a Socata Trinidad and took my commercial checkride today! I’m glad that’s out of the way.... now back to the fun stuff

Congrats Rob! Commercial is a fun one to do.

I need to do the same.

Congrats man! That was a fun rating.

Went camping in the Sierras last weekend and had a great time!

That's some pretty country.

Get it done! As of yesterday you don’t need to take the commercial checkride in a complex airplane, so as long as you have 10 hours of complex you can take the checkride in your 182. I was a few weeks early!

Awesome pics Rob. Pretty country!

Awesome day Rob! Looks like Jackson Meadows Reservoir, Sierra Valley, and points northeast. Beautiful.

Hey you got a picture of me landing at chances place right when i almost smoked that coyote!

Hey Rob. Looks like a great day of flying. How do you like that 180 with dark side glass? I'm thinking of doing it on my 206 for everything behind the doors. Was going to go clear on the door windows though. But I do like the looks of that 180...

My 180 has clear windows all around, the other 180 pictured has dark tinted side windows. In my old 170 I had solar grey light tinted side windows and windshield from Great Lakes Aero that block UV rays and keep the cabin cooler. I would go that route again if I ever replace my windows on the 180.

Ya sorry I meant the other one in the pictures. Thanks Rob!

Camping at Columbia, CA last Friday

This thread is great. It has inspired me, I think once I get the new 550 strapped to the nose of my plane I will start something like this so you guys can see the other side of the country.
