Look forward to the trip report Allen. I bet that was spectacular. Talkeetna is a fun place, isn't it?

Hammer, you're really capturing some terrific scenes lately.

When I got the 172, I thought I'd use it for some training, getting my IFR, and then sell it for something faster. But the more I fly it, the more I like it.

I don't think we're going to get an ice runway this year.

noodles had her first play in the Clarence Valley today, nothing special, just drake international, homestead and Little Italy but will have more fun this weekend. went for a burn down to the gorge aswell.

My mate got photos of me coming into International, will send them later.

Homestead


Clarence Gorge

All over the place this week! Good time to be in Alaska!

I finished my conversion on to the Maule yesterday and today I flew it home. Started at Rand Airport (FAGM) and stopped at home, Himeville 2hours later.

My first cross country in my Maule

I was in San Diego for work over the weekend and managed to wrangle another ride with my buddy who owns a Yak 52. He let me have some stick time in a 3-ship formation with a CJ and a T-34. We hardly had any fun at all.

Congrats Jason, have fun with that Maule of yours!

Had a good flight yesterday, and checked another aircraft of my bucket list.

Thus one's for you, Jimmy!

Don't brag.

Looks like the chin bubble of a Huey. I never looked down through there. I'm afraid of heights.

AKGCBC, great pics!

Sorry man

Ok, now you are making me homesick. Can't wait to get up there in May to my new Summer life. WooHoo!

I've had a lot going on lately (job change, etc.) so I've transitioned to lurker status temporarily.

Still getting in plenty of flying, but mostly doing livestock assistance stuff so no videos.

I FINALLY got to take the storch out for a night in the bush to have a general play around! and what a blast it was. I took it out to my "little Italy" strip in drake, North NSW last night and met up with a few mates for a play session

Instead of sharing a bunch of small videos and a thousand pictures I did up one of those quick little videos on you phone where it just throws it all together so enjoy!

Looks like a good time. If I didn't know better I could easily think that part of the world was southeast Ohio! Makes me long for summer.

Youll have to come down here and compare the difference!!

Chased my shadow around a bit yesterday.

My neighbors are doing some clearing down by the river and I got a neat picture of their dozer (at least I think it's neat)

Had an impromptu get together at the ranch this weekend. I was able to finish guiding some hunters a day early so had a great group of pilots from around the country that were playing in Big Bend over for a BBQ Friday night. Did some fun flying on Friday and Saturday. Think we had 7 taildraggers total show up and also a local buddy stop by in a 172. Good times [emoji2]
