Chet, I am envious. I can remember one time here in NW Iowa that I could see the Northern Lights. Didn't really know what it was at the time but the sky was glowing kind of red.

Nice Chet. WOW!!!! You Maule guys are so talented.

Great pictures Chet!

Looks cold, that is having confidence in your battery! Hand proping on snowshoes is not what I would want to be doing.

I'd like to second that. Great pic!

That is way cool.

Lunch at Tillamook. Then on to Pacific City. Got a text from Dokmow. He must of seen me on Flight Aware had to IFR out of Troutdale. Ovc 003 Gorgous here at the beach.

Flew from Costa Rica to El Salvador, first big trip for me (1 year old since license)

Great photo's! Best photo of the year for sure! With all the room in a Maule, he may be packing a generator for assists in starting??

Gorgeous, cold and clear day yesterday in Grants Pass. Flew over to Medford for IFR currency. Should of took some photos, but was under the foggles.

Thanks TCJ

There was an airshow at El Salvador, the locals were flying low against the crowd, Patty Wagstaff and greg Poe were terrified to see this craziness

Dammit Bcp logged me out and I just lost my painstakingly typed post from my phone. Dude, you gotta increase the timeout if possible.

Short version. BFR done thanks to M5guy. Enjoying second BFR now (beer for replenishment).

Way to go Craig. Steve is a good man. I hope you didn't scare him to bad.

Cheers

I got hero air with steve. Fortunately, he didn't see my landing back home. Ha. I would have failed for sure.

Well, perhaps not Coyote Ugly quality, but good for me . . .

I’ve been looking to land at this spot for about a month, flying over it a half dozen times, measuring approach and departure etc. Conditions needed to be right, as most often the SW flow creates too much turbulence on approach from the east to allow a slow enough airspeed to be safe. Today the wind was almost calm and the Husky light, with only 10 gallons fuel - - only thing almost lacking was courage . . . at 9,450’, not a great place to smooch the pooch.

One less item on the bucket list . . . yeeehaaaaa!

Very nice bumper..but wheres's the dance?

So I'm about a week late on this....... But, Russ (Glidergeek) and I flew up to Austin, Nevada from Riverside, CA to see Joe "Pops" Dory. Russ just put in a Pponk in his 180 and man....... that thing is a rocket ship! I'm now jealous as all get out.

Anyway, it was a great trip up and back with perfect weather. Joe picked us up at the Airport then into town to meet his wife Teresa and some local ranchers at the International Cafe & Bar in downtown Austin. Had myself an awesome burger! And I give this burger a 9+ on a scale of 1-10. Definitely in the "Top 5 Best Burgers" I've had from many places across the U.S.!

After lunch and swapping war story's, Joe took us on a tour of the town and then back to the airport.

Here's some pictures:
