Where did you fly today?

Just got back from an incredible trip with really heavy packs... The weather was beautiful! Until the flight home....

Three generations. The old man in the background, as it should be. Second ride for the oldest grandkid, first for the younger. Good times!

Their dad's first flight, in the early 1980's, was in this same -12 when he was an infant - somewhat younger than these kids.

Landed a little hilltop I’ve been contemplating for awhile.
Steep uphill so easy to get stopped.
Tire tracks upper left in photo.

Interesting part is the departure, Steve Henry style down a 40 deg chute Off the side of the hill

Debbie was at a women's retreat this weekend, so thought I'd meander over to the camp and back. Clouds were great!

HR, yep, the 9Y2 runway and driving range is public use. I've been flying in there since the early 90's (used to live on Sylvan lake nearby). Wonderful spot with access to 6 golf courses. The Classic, The Legacy, RTJ reversible 9, a social 9 and then Maddens East and West courses. I think they allow camping too. The driving range shack also carries exotic Franklin engine repair equipment, but that's another story...

Steve, Lynn and I still talk about how fast the little pup of yours can run, looks like good place to fly!
 
90 year anniversary party at Cape Cod Airport this weekend.

My wingman for the trip over and back.
The cub and the Waco are well matched for speed.

Chewy lays in the back of the airplane until he hears the power come back and he knows we are landing. As soon as I drop the door he is out and running full bore the length of the gravel bar and back. I wish I had his energy.
 
No, that is txpacer, he and his wife finished the restoration back in December. She has one pretty close to stock that was a former Italian bird as well. I think John the banner tow guy here has or had Jason's old L21.

Saturday we made a quick run over to JL's place near Gull. Perfect day!

Playing in the wind on a Sunday morning on the Brazos River. Got pretty sporty down there in the trees and hills.

Can anyone identify what the rings are on the ground behind the front strut?

Tent hold-down rings made from rocks long ago? Nice place for Early Man to have a commanding view of passing game. Or...someone got into spinning circles.

Took a break the other evening and took my mongrels for a quick flight in the calm cool air. We had a hoot out on the Brazos River. That particular tree caused the need for all those patches on my left wing many years ago. Tom likes to play a certain video of that incident. Like any good pilot I have a perfectly good excuse, I am blind in that eye and didn't see the tree. ;)

Best time of year to fly around here! The high desert is a beautiful place. Spent yesterday landing way up high and down low on the river.
