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 home :???: to start the work on our side of the rocks (by sunset) :smile:

Awesome pics! wish I was back down there right now with the cub!

stid2677 · Jan 1, 2023

Out doing a bit of scouting for river crossing spots, about as daylight as it gets.

sj · Jan 1, 2023

We are off to a good start. So far we have flown every day this year...

Eagle and sandbar scouting. Saw more sandbars than eagles...

Swan spotting thwarted today by ceilings and vis dropping fast... oh well..

I'm not sure what's going on here, but I didn't know the GPS steering systems farmers use nowadays, also did circles?

to me being theres a pivot there, the guy is making ridges to catch additional snow for added moisture in the spring.

Maybe this farmer is spreading manure.

How does it fly?

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.

Rob · Jan 12, 2023

2 airplanes, short approaches, controller, you are like the gas on the fire of all the other threads. :lol::lol::lol:

That is a long commute to shoe horses.

Steve Pierce · Jan 13, 2023

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.

stid2677 · Jan 13, 2023

Took a spin for Friday the 13th.

The tracks in the snow tell the tale.......

Flew through some icing and had to land at Gold King and clean my camera lens.

Had a peak up the the north side of the Alaska Range, was -15 on the river and +17 in the mountains.

Wolves got the moose out of the brush and in the open. No chance. They'll be back next full moon looking for leftovers. Nothing a few snares and some Manning #9's wouldn't fix.

Steve Pierce · Jan 14, 2023

A buddy came by so I could do a little work on his Pacer and twisted my arm to go fly.

This is an old bridge crossing the Brazos River that is no longer used. If you have seen the movie Highwaymen with Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson about the detectives who brought down Bonnie and Clyde you have seen this bridge.

BC12D-4-85 · Jan 14, 2023

The Highwaymen is an excellent movie - streamed it last month

Out on Gull today, 35, sunny, overflow, crosswinds and fun!

Bill Rusk · Jan 15, 2023

I always love your photos. Thank you Brad. That overflow looks pretty nasty.

Quick rip on the river before I have to do some adult stuff.

tedwaltman1 · Jan 17, 2023

That's a unique, and very cool (pun intended) perspective with I assume a pole mount aft of the tail?

Yes Sir, used the pole from the group buy and a few other pieces.

Flying J’s O. Jay Call’s uncle Reuel, who started Maverick Fuel with money he saved renting roller skates, was the founder of Call Air. The Call name runs deep in Star Valley.

He passed away with his wife and passengers in 2003 in a crash departing Sun Valley in his Citation.

Nice piece of history and extremely rare. Thanks for sharing.
