Re: Willamette River Flying Friday

If there is a BS session at international? I might try to stop by, or is this a non stop sand bar bash? Time? I just got back yesterday from 4 days at JC. I really have some task to do. We are headed to Pacific City for the weekend. Leaving to night in the plane. It is the youngest daughters 21st birthday Sunday.

Thanks for the invite no matter what happens. Rob

Re: Willamette River Flying Friday

Would be great to have you guys join.

We are taking our staff to dinner at 4pm at the flight deck restaurant on the Salem field, then headed down to Corvallis to meet Chos. Sounds like some nice spots on the river close to Corvallis. I plan to land a few spots, find a spot to swim, hang out etc.

We are back to work at 5:30am tomorrow morning so I can't camp on the river tonight, but probably hang out until dark if people come out.

Yeah EA we'll get you out with us sometime. Flying with Highroad would be a real treat, that guy is a stick.

That sunset was great, after Brent and his dad headed north I circled around town for 30 min just enjoying the colors.

Re: Willamette River Flying Friday

Put together a few clips from our flying Friday. Choss got a bunch of great views also, but we haven't been able to share SD cards yet, so here is what I got. Look for the "finished" version later.
