Re: Your coolest/favorite Aviation/Flying Pic

My favorite of the brief but intense stint of ski flying I did late this winter. This was in a little draw, off of a small valley in the middle of no where, at a little over 7,000'. The snow had a pretty hard crust on it, accounting for the lack of tracks.

Just keep an eye out for $650 "retreaded with bed liner" donuts. They work great! Of course, my plane is "experimental" so....

Re: Your coolest/favorite Aviation/Flying Pic

I think Coyote and Joe Jr pictures would fill out at least my 1st 100 "cool" pictures, but I am reading that "your" as in favorite of "my" plane ??? These are mostly my favorites, because of being from the best time in my plane.

Re: Your coolest/favorite Aviation/Flying Pic

Just got an E-mail containing some cool ones! Not sure of the accuracy of the altitudes. I just quoted directly from the E-mail. The two travelling the same direction should be both either even or odd??

Below FL 330, FL 340-very dramatic-going opposite and 1000' separation !

One of my favorites... A 7 am departure from the cabin with a buddy down to 6S5 to help my brother with his '58 C182.

Re: Your coolest/favorite Aviation/Flying Pic

Here's some from this week... I can't take a picture worth a darn, so the trick is...is to have a good friend that is a professional aviation photographer. Some how I end up looking into his len's alot... and they turn out awesome! With that being said.. I now offer float ratings in this amphib cub here in the Boise area. Joe
