Black Rock Hotsprings

Winnemucca strips

Over flew this landing area
But did not touch..down

Cameron,

Been a long trip, eh?

I've got another solar job for a past customer who wants another system along the other 2 arrays (about 3500 watts ea., grid tied, ), a 45 min drive or a 20 min. flight over the mountains. I had to meet with the excavator, he drove, I flew

Flew out to visit a friend of mine, Tom Reedy at his place. Tom is another Champ driver, and also has a Pietenpol Air Camper he built from scratch. He builds his own propellers too!

Here's me with my junker



The strip is about 900' give or take. Not real difficult, other than the typical fences and power lines on both ends and it's 5700' msl....

Tried to head west to Memphis to meet up with my friend Gilbert. Hit a wall of rain and had to turn around.

Trying again tomorrow.

Go see the ducks at the Peabody Hotel waddle from their suite, take the elevator down, and cool it in the fountain.

Sounds cool, but not making it out today, either. I'm going to work on some writing assignments (anyone want to write a paper on Army force development for me?? hahaha) today and see if I can get out there early tomorrow.

Two KISS things of force development.

In his book, "Mig Pilot," Belenko asks his instructor about the F-15, "Comrade Instructor, this airplane can kill five of us before we can shoot it down"? "Yes, Comrade Belenko," says the instructor, "that is why we send six of you."

The Air Force started putting Vulcan cannons on the F-4 when they figured out only one in six of it's high dollar rockets were successful.

Flew up the Hudson river at North River in the ultralight. Flight in the Wright Brothers form.

went for a burn yesterday spotting new spots ready for the river country muster. landed a couple and found another 4 or 5 Ill go back to later.

Paddys flat - Cant wait to get back hear, awesome bass, cod and perch fishing!







"CTF" (capture the flag) - great little hill side landing/camping spot, photos don't do it justice but the hill slope was about 30 degrees. plane was airborne in about 25m taking off! great fun!




Stopped in at my mates for some tucker on the way home.

Fall colors are just starting to pop out east... spent the eve last night taking it all in.

That's a great pic of your 180!

Flew a buddy out to Berry Hill today so he could get his car from Atlanta. Nice little airpark!

these are a bit late, but went out dropping dog baits on Monday, got a few shots on the way out, and took a few babies photos while I waited for the property owner to arrive with the baits and the hopper.

Looking out over some of the property I was working


going David Attenborough style on the baby photos

Took my Surly to the beach



And an amazing flight over the Coast range to Pemberton



Coming home




And my new home strip, Texada Island

Hey Gillies Bay! I've flown by that strip a thousand times in the turbine otter. Texada is on the old "Desolation Highway" when flying out of Seattle.

I dig the bird... Makes me miss my 170 for sure.

Texada. We just leased land at the airport there, and have a cabin down in gillies bay. Everybody we know from chilliwack is buying cabins up there because of my dad, telling everyone how great of an island it is.. It's cheaper than any of the other islands because it is 1 ferry too far for most people.. But it's only an hour and 15 minutes away by plane.

After sleeping off high winds, we decided New Hampshire was too far away for a 1.5 day trip (The WAD)...So we pointed the ship at Butler, Ohio and ate breakfast. Then we went to Evan's house and made him take us to lunch.







I can't believe his ultra fast powerful clean-as-a-whistle so light you can barely stall it Savage Cub is still not sold. You guys keep teaming up against him and will not buy his plane. It's not right. He needs a fair shake.



I didn't take the time to post that ultra smooth powerfully riveting video you shot of my landing Evan, but trust me guys it was really artistic.
