Where did you fly today?

Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Nope. Still private. I'm sure it really was a warm March though!

Re: Where did you fly today?

I had a fantastic time the last several days in the Utah Backcountry with my Wilga... Conditions were absolutely perfect.

I posted a bunch of pics and videos on my facebook.com/slowandlow

Whoohoo!

It could only have been better if I saw a few more of you folks out there! :D

Re: Where did you fly today?

What a machine ! I entertained the thought of acquiring one--spoke to a fella in Shreveport LA that has one--he landed it in Marksville, LA when I was down visiting family and friends--a beast, indeed--I ended up with a Tundra--am happy--and glad you are--

Mine is a bit 'special' since I replaced the stock 260hp engine for a 400hp M14P... It's a raging monster now. So much fun to fly.

Here's a nibble..

Re: Where did you fly today?

Had a window between storms this afternoon on the Coast. Took the kids out to throw some rocks in the river.

If the Gravel bar fits between the struts.......it's landable, right?!?

The next storm moving in.....
