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!

It’s not the Cessna, but fighting unseasonably intense fires in the day job in Alberta. This is High Prairie,

Interesting paint job on the blades. We painted one blade on the OH6-A Loach white so it would show up well against the jungle when he was working as low bird for us in the Cobra at 1200'.

Ardent, how's laying in the bubble working out for you? Watched you finishing up your IR during GF2. Saw a military 212 there with an interesting 90 gal aux system (49 right, 41 left). Frees up the honeymoon seats.

Beautiful shot. Welcome to my neck of the woods, I'm just to the WNW. CDT8. If you ever need some fuel stop in, have a 400 BBL tank here for the air tractors and anyone in need...

Flew From Delta Colorado to Delores Point, then to Calamity Mesa. Lots of snow up high this year makes for unusual waterfalls. Delores Point is in truly excellent condition as is Calamity Mesa.

Re: Where did you fly today?

Washington State DOT/Aviation maintains a bunch of grass strips up in the Cascade Mountains. They are only backcountry-ish since they are well maintained and are often within walking distance of a lodge, or town. Due to mountain weather, these strips are typically closed from Oct 1 until June 1, but we've had a dryer and warmer spring than normal, so some of these strips opened early this year. That gave a bunch of us the opportunity to fly to Skykomish State (S88) in the Skykomish River valley before the crazily busy Memorial Day weekend flying began. It turned out to be a fabulous day.
