You know the drill... lakes patrol in smokey skies...

Yes throttle is pegged, was climbing out of Stephens lake behind me out over Gull. Dutch is going bananas and putting in yet another 18 holes. This time a Tom Lehman course (the other is a RTJ)

Several days cruising around Bristol Bay coast.

I'm surprised to see the tusks still on that walrus carcass.
I guess it's probably illegal to take them or even possess them?

You can keep beach found ivory as long as you register it with USF&W with in 30 days. They have guidance on what’s ok to collect, but keep in mind USF&W only manages certain species of marine mammal (one of them is walrus). Whales and seals for example are under National Marine Fisheries service jurisdiction and they have their own particular can and cants criteria.

Here is a link, hope it works. http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=837

Not everyone collects those tusks or heads. I pass on a few now and again. Seems like the older I get the less I can tolerate the smell. It’s been discussed before here…………..decaying marine mammal smell is horrendous and if any of that “juice” makes contact with you or plane interior, well it will be around a while. Despite the smell it’s neat to do and once cleaned up they are a nice reminder of a beach combing adventure.

Not really a lake...

RaisedByWolves · Jul 24, 2021

Ha - yes floats! Not much water out here in the Rocky Mountains...

NunavutPA-12 · Jul 25, 2021

Flew to our cabin, 90 nm SSE of Kugluktuk (CYCO).

Brandsman · Jul 25, 2021

Flew around Fochville South of Johannesburg in the J-5, spotted some ancient ruins. Lovely day for flying - cool and almost no wind. So took the J-3 up to play with the daughter in the front

Randy let about 100 kids sit in his plane when we flew into the Kelly Creamery alfalfa field this evening.

Cubus Maximus · Jul 28, 2021

Return to the island of the first date...

TVATIVAK71 · Jul 29, 2021

Todays cruise from Dillingham-Iliamna-Kustatan-Anchorage. I’m starting to get better at being a passenger……kinda anyway. Tried my best to not be a backseat driver today but my 21yr old son would probably say otherwise. We had a fun day viewing the bears and had a tailwind the whole way.

Utah-Jay · Jul 30, 2021

After being gone for work for a month I got out for a few trips around the pattern. KHCR is at 5,637’ and the DA was 7,100’ this morning. Sadly the camera died (yep forgot to put in a fresh battery) so did not get the slowest of the 3 landings which touched down at 45mph IAS.

Brian M · Aug 3, 2021

Had some fun in the mountains yesterday.

stid2677 · Aug 4, 2021

Flew up north to have a look at the recent burn,, the smoke made for a nice photo with the morning sun shining through it.

Cubus Maximus · Aug 5, 2021

Been pretty smokey here lately.

I started coughing just looking at these!! WOW

Can be bad going into a low sun. Sometimes it helps to climb and get above the smoke especially if the layer subsides from cooling temps - mid day heat lifts the layer. Vis down is usually good and terrain can be followed.

Learned this very valuable lesson yesterday,, The sun was bad but okay,, until just before I needed to flare,, the sun, smoke and reflection off the ground blinded me just before touchdown.

A day to get dialed in with high DA’s and grass. Airport is at 5,637’ and the DA was 8,200’ this morning. There was both good and bad in these landings, I was certainly a bit rusty. I was aiming for the cones, takeoff and landings were measured from the cones. Rans S-21 with a Rotax 915iS so performance is not hurt too badly by the DA

Had a friend stop in on his way to Minnesota. 85 year old crop duster bought this to teach his grandson the trade
