Mountain Float Flying Part 1: The Imaginary Passenger

Cool new article from a relatively new BCP community member @Ardent. Thanks Angus for a great start to contributing.

Also, I may be more jealous of your job than anything I can think of.

The term "mountain float flying" pretty much said it all to me, and "puddles" is pretty descriptive also, as to what the article was going to be about, frigging excellent! Killer pics too =D>

That was a good bourbon read near the fire last night. I felt like I was the "imaginary" co-pilot on that trip. Captivating and well written!
