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!

Re: Where did you fly today?

Sunny, calm day which is probably rare there this time of year, dusting of snow in the hills. Nice J-5, landing lights in both wings, do they pulse alternate like all the floaters I see driving around in the fog? Tires look a little hard, maybe easier to push back into the hangar that way. I've got some time in a J-5 and sure liked the utility of two persons in the back seat instead of just one. I always thought ACA was tempting us GCBC and Scout owners by offering an extra-wide rear seat as an option, not that I actually know of anyone that has ever put two people back there like you can with the J-5 ;).

Its a 12. Landing light just in 1 wing. I guess the prop tip looks like a light in th right wing. didnt notice till you said something :)

It's all White and windy now. We did have some nice days for a while though.

Re: Where did you fly today?

Had to take my wife to Challis today for a work thing. Dropped our kid off at the in-laws then had a nice flight up to Challis and back. Forgot how much I enjoy flying at night.

Saw some Goats along the way. Was pretty cool to see. Kinda tough to get a good pic.
