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!

Looks like AvWeb has more photos for the upcoming weeks.

Hoping to contribute one day, but 00 here in the Rogue Valley.

Yeah, we're pretty lucky Zane! We're adding new spots all the time too! Here's a good video Paco got from one of my takeoffs.

That boy Paco sure can shoot a clean video! I don't know why he's been laying low ever since his cult classic "large" hit the radar.
Looks like fun boys.

Yeah, that weather doesn't look too good this weekend. Maybe next weekend though? We'll have to wait and see what it looks like.

Re: Flying with RobW56

Can't complain about the flying weather we've had lately. Seems like it's been 70 degrees without a breath of wind for a good two or three weeks. I guess El Nino is supposed to show up a little late. We could sure use more rain. My water district is forecasting a 0% allocation for 2016. Great pictures, Rob. Let's do some flying!

There was a break in the rain today so I went out for a couple hours, found this new spot.

Bryan flew into San Jose for work, Justin and I flew down to pick him up and went to lunch in Watsonville. Thanks for being the designated pilot Justin! :D

I take it that the DP wasn't the one that took the photo.

Do you remember the fix for this? Remove the word "original" from the URL.
