Nice shots and nice spot, which strip is that?

Shots were from the park. We're flying out of Blanca, 05V.

Sure looks like the Rimbey airport to me!!!

Pretty flight home last night.

Nice prop stoppage. Did you use a special filter for that?

It was my daughters 6th birthday today and her cousins came to visit. A couple of them have been up in a chopper and an airplane a few years ago, and it was the first time for one of them. They enjoyed it. The 206 is really great for these kind of days.

Currently camping at a friend's private ranch with good rough strip and even an old spare hangar. Flew over an old cold war ICBM site this morning. Cool to see the fake tanks and SAMs that once fooled Soviet recon. Stopped at Murphy Hot Springs to stretch our legs and enjoy a PB&J. Thanks Snake River Brush Pilots for keeping it mowed and dragged.

Could we see a pic of your Camper /Trailer set up which houses the plane? And maybe hear a little more about it. It sounds genius-

Nope, IPhone out the window shot.

Cool Morning in the Frank Church and a hot cup of coffee in the works. Life is good!

Hooked up.


Earlier shots.

Thank you for this recommendation. Hit it today. Stunning!



Full itinerary was Bluff-AZ Mineral (didn't land due to too much brush)-Nokai Dome (spectacular)-Dirty Devil for PB&J Lunch- Fry Canyon-Natural Bridges-Comb Ridge-Bluff. Then biked to Sand Island Petroglyphs.

Enjoyed maybe? the last day of the season flying around with my arm out the window. Last week we had snow on the ground, this week it's been almost 70 & sunny. This is on a short trip to a grass strip about 35 miles away. Nothing special, just a nice flight in the mountains.

102" trailer? I'm sure you've seen those 5 th wheel horse trailers that also have living accommodations up front. But your pickup camper looks like the best solution, the most compact overall. I have heard of one person with a folder, who will remain anonymous, who commissioned a custom built trailer, 106" or 108" I think it was. The theory was (and so far so good) that LEO wouldn't notice, and the extra few inches made a world of difference, made it doable for their particular bird. Scofflaws Great setup, thanks for sharing.

Finally got a chance to get back in the air after a long snowy cold October.

When I get back to a real keyboard, I'll replyin detail. Meanwhile. I recently heard a quote that I thought was a perfect reply to this.

Deep, words of wisdom, I need a copy of that quote for my hangar wall.

Workaround is sometimes necessary for safety and efficiency. But we artists also have to honor those who slug it out daily under bureaucratic restraint. We are all in this together. Wait! "We're just here to help."

Lakes are beginning to freeze up. Perfect day to patrol around and watch the season change.


The Lee's place looks active:



Craig's place is coming along:

closed for the season:

above the layer it was pretty warm:





Joe just bought a PA-12 (came with Wip amphibs and Constant speed prop) He was out doing touch and goes with it this afternoon along with the rest of the world.


This is the first time I've noticed that our local grocery store has a memorial on aisle 3.

Great flying weather yesterday in the Puget Sound area.
Here's the ADS-B "in" pic at about 3:15pm.
