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.

Re: Minnesota Ski Flying

Great video. Love seeing the Cub, 185 and Beaver all posing for family pictures.

It finally warmed up enough here in the NWT to get out on the skis...we've got another 6 weeks or so here in the sunshine to enjoy them.
