Here's a couple of my pics from yesterday (courtesy of Katie).

Flying formation up with Jim.




Flying back with Nate.


One of Eric's (riding with Jim) pictures of me.


Good memory added to the logbook yesterday.

Attended the Bemidji Polar Days/Hardwater classic fishing contest. Wx was in the low 30's. Saw some nice folks. Thanks Keg n Cork (Scott Pearson) for the free lunch and to David Quam for acting as AIR BOSS. Next year we'll shoot for more planes.

Great pictures, Eric, and a fun fly in indeed. COuldn't have asked for better weather.

Thought that 170 looked familiar, and very nice.

Wow,
That ski flying looks like fun. Good to see a Pacer in the bunch

Hey MTV, what cost you more...the plane or the prop???? Sorry I forgot we don't talk prices here. "If you have to ask...."

Seriously though, this old buzzard at the Morgan Valley fly-in told me his last wish in life was to put an MT prop on his cub. Whats the big deal I thought?? He told me it was a $17K swing!!! Good golly could that be true??

They sure look like a piece of artwork.

MTV traded flight instruction to a lad in the Crookston Ag school FAB shop. Don't let those graceful lines fool you. It's stamped FT (farm tough).

Leemer,

Scout nailed it. Your buddies' suggested price is--how do you say???---BS actually. Price a new hub and overhaul from Hartzell, for perspective. Now, do it twice on the propeller on the same airplane....

Great prop. Everybody needs one of those babies, believe me...

Great pictures, I liked the one of the snack shack, and noticed "hot scotch" was one of the drinks offered. Hmmmm!

I love this "Where'd You Fly" thread. It's the first thread I look for when checking for new posts. Just need more captions under the pics so we'll know what's what, who's what and what fer "or something".

No, they didn't escort me to the ground. But there were a bunch of them at Pueblo today.

The take-off: http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee15 ... 180002.flv

I did it. Today I passed my checkride and am now one of the newest Land and Sea Commercial Pilot. I did it at Sheble Aviation in Fort Mohave where I spent 3 days going up and down the Colorado River and Lake Havasu learning to land a plane on the water. I also received my land rating. The flight school up here is really great at being very practical about what you need to know to be a competent pilot and pass the check ride with no fluff which is what I like.

they have a Beech 18 on floats the thing is soo cool there was a 70 year old guy getting he's AMES ratting I got to ride in it back to the dock here we are refueling it

yes I guess they need the hummer to pull the fuel truck in the sand





here is the Lake Buccaneer what I flew in for both rattings

My instructor and I

over Lake Havasu

Colorado River

Wow! An 18 on floats, too cool.

Congrats again, Trevor!! Great post!!

Do you know what they charge for time in the -18?

Nice pictures -- and Congrats on the ratings!!!

I never did find out but they did say they would give a killer group rate if 2 or 3 do a ratting at the same time.

Thanks.

Many years back I was told there were two on floats left in the US -- one in AK and one in Florida. Then I heard a rumor the one in AK wrecked -- never could find out if it was true or not.

Thank you, and Have a cold one!

The pics of that 18 are great! Congrats on the ratings.

no where
