Some images captured from Saturday's flight.
Emily in the RV was the only one who could not land on the snow covered lake.
Check out the studded tires on the moto cross bikes.

Man Tim, your plane is looking good. You didn't do a half bad job

Tom, was your dad buzzing us on Suncook Lake in his 172?

Bill, those are some sharp looking pictures! Here's a video (and some embedded pictures) from our day. No fancy music. No fancy transitions. The video from the old GoPro "1" in the Bearhawk looks like an old VHS (the Hero 3+ in the RV looks MUCH better). ...and it it longer than it should be, but we had a lot of fun and its hard for an amateur like me to cut that much fun down to 5 minutes.
Cheers!

Willyb, were you down by Crow Island? I heard a couple guys that may have been headed in that direction. There was some discussion about landing on lakes and wondering if a specific lake was a 'legal' landing strip. ;-)
Vlad, the issue isn't one of getting lost or a lack of charts. Its more that with that RV-4 of hers, Emilie can do her own little side trips or extra passes of lakes and then catch up with us again. ...so its hard to keep track of her! We had planned to go up to the Bald Mtn event, but a combination of uncertain weather up there, longer flight, and the local group only going to Alton Bay kept us more local. Did you win the spot landing contest?

I know I know it's not about the charts I am just trying to prove I heard everything :lol:. Sitting on 10K and nothing to do... She sounds so nice on the radio. Spot landing contest?! I could barely stop at the end of runway but I did challenge a leader of the pack several times. Believe it or not his sled was moving 100+ knots

Thanks for posting Rene, I'm spending way too much time trying to learn how to use the gopro and a mac computer to run the videos. Had to work days this weekend so didn't get to do any flying but enjoy seeing others having fun, Hope for good weather for Bowman's fly-in. Douten

I know it's only Thusday morning but Saturday looks like it might be good flying day. Got a foot of snow yesterday so it's time for some needed ski time in the Northeast. We can either meet at the Saphouse or Speculator at 9am for breakfast. The ice castle is up and open so work our way North to Saranac Lake then back to the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake or the Inn at Stillwater for lunch.

If weather is good I am coming for T&G. Maybe you Cub drivers with skis could pack a short strip for me? What's air-to-air frik? :smile:

Air to air is 122. stay away. We don't need someone with 5"tires spoiling where we fly. For some reason the locals get pissed when someone ends up upside down on their precious ADK beach. Your experimental, find some Erocoupe skis and adapt them to your RV or if you really want to fly with the Cubs, buy a Cub.

Wooo elitists
Fair enough. Will go to Steve Philbrick place again then to Barnstormers looking for a Cub :smile:

Vlad, your a nice guy. I met you at Phils, Just don't want to see you bend that nice buggy your driving. By the way, first time I got to fly a RV4 was off of a frozen lake.

Looks great for tomorrow. Speculator, North end of Lake Pleasent at 9am for breakfast. A foot of new snow, sunshine, mid 20s and mild winds. Should be 8 or 10 of us. Anybody on SKIS is welcome to join in. We will be on 122.75

Vlad, nevermind what Glenn says. You don't need a Cub. Just a different beach. Now, there's a beach in Maine...

Would like to come north and do some ski flying with you. Is everybody meeting at Speculator or is a southern contingent starting somewhere else. If I leave at 0600 might be able to make speculator by 0900. Looking forward to seeing some of you again and meeting new people.
