I have flown along that. Truly amazing.
Just try to imagine what was happening geologically during some point in time to form that terrain and what happened to the sea levels. Did the seal level go down or did the terrain rise by however many thousand feet above current sea level? I find it fascinating to look at the geological formations in different areas of the globe. Wondering what happened and when? There has been so much change happen over the millions of years. And humans think they have the power to change it.Originally Posted by aflyer

A year or so ago I made a 100 page Motif photo book of some of my favorite images from flying the Brainerd Lakes Area through 2021. If anyone wants to download it, here's the wetransfer link - it'll be up for a week. https://we.tl/t-Fe6yyJlpcm
Pulled my airplane out the other day to put two customer's airplanes in behind it. After work I was about to pull it back in as I looked at the windsock and decided I just needed to go fly. My middle daughter is keeping the grand babies in the building in front of my hangar while my oldest daughter and her husbands work with me. As my 15 month old grand daughter came out of the hangar and saw me pulling my Super Cub onto my ramp she threw her arms in the air and exclaimed "Yahoo Fly". So we loaded her up and we made a quick trip to the river where she enjoyed throwing rocks in the water. I'm having way too much fun. Can't wait till my 5 month old grand son can go.

Post Covid produce world is still not 'right' but the market's hot for what it is and the recent moisture has had us busy with mildew work.
I've been running both sides of the hill for a bit, and at the end of the week I got tired of coming home in the dark and trying to beat the fog, so I got out in the daylight... Still not great, and oddly enough, better on the way hometo start the work on our side of the rocks (by sunset)
Tonight, all's better (for now)... same crossing

Sunday flying. Last couple of Sundays weather has been crap. Today was low 20s, high pressure and low wind. Plane was on rails.
The lights of Fortuna Hills and Yuma approaching Telegraph pass? It's been a while since I saw that view at night.I've been running both sides of the hill for a bit, and at the end of the week I got tired of coming home in the dark and trying to beat the fog, so I got out in the daylight...

Some river running and playing with the group buy pole and 360 camera. The days are short and cold, ready for the Solstice.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but I didn't know the GPS steering systems farmers use nowadays, also did circles?
They’ll do everything including waking you up from a nap I think. What they won’t do is run to the beer store for you when your coolers empty
Not a farmer but I suppose it could be as simple as the tractor driver following the existing furrows.

The sky was an intense blue yesterday after the storms of last week. We finally got power back (thankful for linemen!).
courierguy, it's the Idaho chapter of the Stonehenge Druids: Don't forget, winter Solstice is almost upon us. Important rituals take place.
Thanks. cubscout

Out doing a bit of scouting for river crossing spots, about as daylight as it gets.
Swan spotting thwarted today by ceilings and vis dropping fast... oh well..
to me being theres a pivot there, the guy is making ridges to catch additional snow for added moisture in the spring.
looks fastI always try to fly on New Years Day. Took my new bird up with the boss.

Then he made the earth round... and He laughed and laughed and laughed!
RV8? Great airplane!
If it ain't broke - improve it
Maybe this farmer is spreading manure.
Took my buddies Callair A2 out and did some short approaches

How does it fly?Took my buddies Callair A2 out and did some short approaches
Flys good. Lands and takes off short enough. Heavy on the ailerons and sensitive in pitch. Super easy to land and good ground handling characteristics. Has Lycoming 0320A2B wide deck engine. Only 25 gal of gas but they tell me there's a factory aux tank you can put in the baggage. Original owner was the guy that started Flying J truck stops. I was gonna buy it but my wife shot that idea down since I already have 2 airplanes and no job.
2 airplanes, short approaches, controller, you are like the gas on the fire of all the other threads.
There are lots of women, not many Callair A2s.

Yea but it doesn't have the aux tank.

That is a long commute to shoe horses.
Last Sunday was pretty epic on the Brazos, no wing and cool temps. 21 different bars, some I had not been on in many years.
