Where did you fly today?

[skywagon8a]

I thought that was you making waves.

Staging area for the windmill farm south of Marthas Vineyard.



The ship has a load of tower sections. They appear to be assembling the towers in this side of the area. Notice the large pile of blades in the background. This is in New Bedford Mass.

We missed seeing you yesterday.
What an awesome fall day to fly.
Guillaume and I met at Watchaug Pond then flew down the coast to The Connecticut River. North to Goodspeed for lunch. The river was not landable due to logs an stuff floating down from Vermont.
Last image is of Nashion Island sand dunes.

We must have crossed paths. I landed in the pond on Naushion, then flew over Chappaquiddick.

Lituya Bay, Outer Coast, West Glacier Bay, pristine fall weather and not a hint of wind. In the evening after the flight yesterday, very near the landslide photos, two 5.0+ earthquakes occur. Felt em here in Juneau. Guess I’ll have to head back out and see if anything else shook loose!

The beaches near there, eg La Perouse, are amongst my all time favorite spots!

Flew down to Gallup, NM for the 39th annual Navajo Christmas Airlift. Took a small load of leftover jackets and other warm clothing we gathered from friends (took all we had last year).

They are expecting a total of 80 aircraft full of clothing etc. this year. There are some desperately poor Navajo in northern N.M. and Arizona that really need these items. A 185 and a Sportsman made the trip with us this year from Pagosa Springs.

SQ2 on the Kenai.

Out exploring the envelope of this machine a few weeks ago.

With no wind finally for the first time in several days, I got the RANS S-7S fueled, pushed out of the hangar, got inside, and just as I was reaching for the start key, the windsock made a weird flutter, 3 minutes later, it was honking again at 20+ MPH, windsock straight out, direct cross to my mountain strip. I put it away, too turbulent this near the 9K ridge behind my place, no fun anyway, found that out decades ago the hard way. With 40+ years of operating on this 14 to 16% grade on two different 400' long strips, I need a reminder now and then to not get complacent and just go do something else some days. The wind never quit, it's still blowing, so I'm feeling pretty smug. Just about anywhere else I fly, it's easier to predict what the wind will be doing, than at my home strip, that's good I guess, and only one time did I make an approach when the wind was coming down the mountain, it was so turbulent the only thing that got me down with no damage was dumb luck. When it's coming sideways to the ridge it's just no fun but not terrifying.

Vineyard Wind project 20 miles south of Marthas Vineyard. There are now three wind mills up and standing at attention. One in the process of assembly and the power station.

 

[skywagon8a]

Guess who's summer cottage is in the middle of the picture? A name you've all heard.

Thankfully there is not a prohibited airspace around his cottage. The house is about a mile from the airfield. So far the Secret Service is very cooperative.

Aubrey told her Mom she wanted to go to the river to collect some more rocks for her rock box but didn't want to go in the river. 8)
Didn't want to sit in the back seat, in PaPaw's lap.

Then she helped me clear brush from the gravel bar.

Then she filled PaPaw's pockets with cool rocks.

Getting her in my lap without any help was gonna be a challenge since she is scared to stand on the tire so she agreed to be a big girl and sit in the back seat but had to have her pacie.

Guess who's spending 6 days over Thanksgiving at a nearby island. It will effect your airport.

I am late to the game, so will just toss out the one person I think is important enough to summer here:

Laura Johnson?:lol:

Other than that, I will say it is nice to live and fly around unimportant folks that really don't like lots of fanfare.

 

[RedOwlAirfield]

On final to Red Owl Airfield

Sorry for the terrible picture, but I've wanted to post something here for a while and this is what I've got.

Flew from Red Owl to Elko (Nv) - thence to Winnemucca (Nv) - and back to Red Owl. Pretty hazy but other than that it was a good day.

First one from a Cub camping trip the grandson and I did this summer and the second was yesterday playing in the snow.

 

[Cubus Maximus]

Not a lot of time to fly this Fall, so perfect day = get out there!

Nice shoes, Aubrey !

 

[Steve Pierce]

Nice shoes, Aubrey !

:smile:She loves shoes and changes them often but doesn't always get them on the correct feet. I noticed that while we were flying and was gonna swap them when we landed but she was too excited to bother with it.

 

[stid2677]

Took time today to honor a lost friend, last time I saw him he had returned a couple fuel bags he borrowed. I saved the last one and use a bit of it when I want to take a special flight. Today I shared a shot of Av Gas and Bourbon with my friend at the last place we shared a fire. Tail winds my friend, Happy Thanksgiving.

Some guy in his spare Cub making it happen.

 

[OLDCROWE]

A quick run to Menards in Wichita to pick up a replacement pump for the hangar heat. Big front coming in from
the West with lots of moisture streaming ahead of it made for some cool views. The sky was opaque at 2:00 in the afternoon.
