I tried to get this down to a few photos and that turned into some many good times with many of you I ended up having an entire album. Many of you are in this album and maybe you have seen some of these. I really tried to re cap my summer here. ALready looking forward to JC next summer. From the couple fly-ins up here that we had, the annual BCP fly-in, Valdez, and all of the other "just out flying days", summer has been a really good one (so far) in terms of flying. Added up my hours the other day and have put on almost 700 hours this summer....

This is my last week of summer as I leave for Antarctica in 5 days for most of the month of November climbing and skiing. I return on the 23rd. I would imagine when I get back it will be about time for the ski's!

Anyhow, I know many of you have some great pics from this summer. Lets seem them!

Enjoy...

Honestly, its closer to 600 Rob but still...have spent a ton on fuel

At this rate you are going to have to spend a ton on an overhaul pretty soon too!

Damn Kevin...no wonder you fly that bird like a cub!

The RAF has this open for everyone now, and it is worth a trip for an overnight. There usually is a courtesy car available.

These may not be my best pictures but they bring back the memories.


Garry, me, with Windy landing behind us...kind'a gives you the idea what Horseshoe canyon was like..DIRTY!! I'm still cleaning red dirt out of my plane.


I call this one DUST OFF..Tony firing up to go drop water melons and leaving is dad in the dust...or was it the other way 'round?


This is my favorite for the summer. Back in '02 got to fly over Monument Valley with a friend. Always wanted to go back and get down and fly around the monuments, where John Wayne used to make movies. Thanks to Ed and Garry they let me have my little diversion.

that is hard to choose?? These were from the last 30 days.

Whoo-Hoo! I made Kevin's best of summer album! You picked the picture I would have posted. That was a dang fun time that day.

Awesome Pics Kev. I'll have to create an album as well. I don't think I had nearly as many great photo ops as you did!

Couple favorites...
