Lets do some flying!

AKT

Awesome! It's good to see you're back and flying!

Game on Rob! Its going to be a good summer! Weather is finally on our side. Been home for over a week. The North cirq was full of water last week. Many spots still are but, its very good flying now as the spring bloom is full on.

Hey there Kevin,

I plan on being out tomorrow morning in the Cub..... You going to be out n' about?


NV...Dave

Sunday I'm thinking Sierraville Kitchen if you guys are gonna be around.

Gump

I Love that barn. I swear I'm gonna see it in person one day. Nice pics!

Good for you Kevin! I thought of you today as I was cruising past a 12k 60 degree mountainside, still with plenty of snow.
A little steeper and it would have made good skiing

Hey Gump,

I will be out burning cub gas tomorrow morning, have Mother's Day Brunch to fix up Sunday morning.

NV

Moms day on Sunday for me too. Eaa pancake breakfast in the am (sat) in ktrk. Meeting nvflyer for some fun around 930 or so.

Would like to see that spot Tom!

Anyone else get the flyer in the mail that Totem Pole Ranch is for sale? No listing price.

Would be an incredible RAF type fly in destination in NorCal!

Flynengr

Id throw in a few hundred dollars for it....haha military only pays so much! We really need to find out about Van Vleck! That would be incredible!

We met up with Kevin and Dave and had a great time out on the North Circuit today!

Cool spot! Would be an awesome place to have to ourselves. I wish it were closer to the lake...

Great day today. Just uploading some photos now.

Anyone flying the north circuit or anywhere else tomorrow Sat 18 I'm game. I will fly up from krhv.

This pic is sweet.


Full screen is the best. Click it

The north circuit is open for certain. I am down for a few weeks due to some rock damage. Grapefruit sized rock / concrete in the in field at Beckworth. Heard a loud bang and shut her down...Bushwheels, concrete rocks and leading edges dont mix at the tail feathers. Getting the horizontal stab fixed... Hoping to make JC... Thinking about adding some mud flaps behind the tires now. This is the 5th time I have had to repair that leading edge...

Anyhow, the North circuit is open...

AKT

That's cool.

AK, what certifies as enough damage to ground a horizontal??? More info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Skalywag
