Where did you fly today?

[Cubus Maximus]

Last night as the wind was coming up and headed for the barn:

The long gone Round Hill airport in South Dartmouth Massachusetts as it looks today.


The seaplane base and the dock where the last whaling ship Henry W. Morgan was moored.
The seaplane ramp still exists. The ship now resides at the Mystic Seaport museum in Connecticut. https://www.mysticseaport.org

Set a new altitude record for my Cub, just shy of 14,000. At the left end of the ridge here is a local feature called "the window", just a square chunk cut from the ridge. Our of the frame on the right is Pyramid Peak, at just over 14,000 ft. San Juan Mts, Southwest Colorado.

Back on floats!

I flew to Townsend, Mt. (8Uto go to the Full Belly Deli for lunch but it was closed so we had to settle
for Canyon Ferry Lake pea soup.

One of my favorite close-to-home places!

Lakes patrol on a perfect August evening. Hit Pelican, Edna, Spider (the Cub's old stomping grounds), Upper Gull and Sylvan.

Great photos by Cubus Maximus.

I stayed in the traffic pattern at 3N8 tying to improve my grandson's takeoffs and landings in my 7AC. A few more sessions and we will need to find a tailwheel instructor.

25 miles south of Marthas Vineyard Mass. Local method of cutting global warming by installing windmills to make electricity. As you can see, there's not a lot of wind today. I could have landed anywhere. There are currently 10 windmill bases installed on the ocean floor. The crane is about 800 feet tall.

Any idea on the depth of the water?

Roughly 110 - 160 feet. https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/pro...massachusetts/

I am sure they will pay for themselves in 100 years

Particularly since they have already jacked up the rates 50% to pay for them.

Deadman’s Basin, Montana today

Playing on the mackeinzie river. Beautiful fall day.

Does the river rise here during the flood season? It looks like low tide on a tidal river.

Yep usually very high in the spring.
I've been up here 15 or so years and this is the lowest I have ever seen it. The one spot on the shore (by the coast guard dock) this is the first time I've ever been able to land there. Even in fall it's usually under water.

The expense is just getting started. Maintenance and crew changes will be by big helicopter.

You going to get a chance to fly out there?
There are helicopter pads on all the work platforms. Will there be pads on each windmill?

Plan to apply, allegedly they will be hiring more pilots soon. No helicopter weight capable pads on the windmills, workers and gear are winched on and off a platform on the windmill.

That sounds like an adventure. I assume they will be able to remotely stop the rotation of the windmill?

Hot day in SE New Mexico. Luckily this was my last stop and I was able to bring my own shade.



I’ve shod this old cutter dozens of times over the years. He’s about as airplane broke as a horse can get. The occasional wind gust and aileron wiggle won’t even phase him…..



At least it’s a dry heat!

[Steve Pierce]

Only 100 here today, 105 tomorrow and 108 on Friday and then it starts to cool down.

[KevinJ]

I’m ready!

[Steve Pierce]

Me too, even after working all summer in an air conditioned hangar.
