Minnesota Ski Flying

Had some visitors at the house this afternoon. Conditions are great, high 20s and no wind.

It’s great living on a lake, now I sorta of understand what it’s like to have an airstrip and get drop-in visits.

Yep,nearly as good as having your own strip! :lol:

Plowed my strip earlier this week. Friend stopped in for a short visit in his Scout. Then I flew over to another friends place that has a SC for sale. Ironically, there was a young man from Lake Elmo that flew up in a SC to look at it. When I flew back home, the fog was starting to settle in. My wife got a quick picture.
