Happy Thanksgiving 2023

It's been tradition that somebody here, sometimes me, starts a holiday thread. I'll go this year for Thanksgiving.

Thankful for my healthy family and being a man who has what cannot be bought.

Thankful for the long term crew here and the diehards who have stayed on despite other forms of social media. Even more thankful for those who support BCP through donations or either their time or money. Very thankful for our advertisers who recognize the value of grass roots independent communities. Without you all I would probably shutter this place and get on with life.

Thankful for the friends I've made here and in aviation in general.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Behold, my AI loaf.

I noticed that Zane didn’t start a Thanksgiving thread. So I’m tagging onto this from 2023. Happy Thanksgiving BCP. Thankful for the privilege of airplane ownership and the enjoyment it affords.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm grateful for my family. I'm also grateful for those here who inspired me to finally make trip of my life, and for kindred spirits who understand and appreciate it.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving 2023

The weather in the PNW was pretty crappy on Thanksgiving day, but the day after Thanksgiving dawned clear and cold. I squeezed in a short flight to buy avgas since my home airport ripped out its old fuel system and hasn't installed the new one yet. The views of local peaks with fresh snow were spectacular! This list of things I'm thankful for is long. I'm a very lucky pilot!
