Trips
A little flight before the Pineapple express hits the area. Merry Christmas everyone.My first attempt at sky writing. Plotted out way points on the GPS at major points of the letters and flew around them. Experimental Aviation Association (EAA.org) wrote about this trip. Click here. to read article.
San Carlos Airport - San Francisco - Alcatrez - Marin - Golden Gate - Half Moon Bay (lunch) - San Carlos. Great weather and awesome views on Silicon Valley
In the interview with EAA Editors (see: http://www.eaa.org/ehotline/issues/101217.html), I mentioned doing some drawings too. Here is my first attempt on a very windy day. Harder to do the drawing with wind and turbulence. I wanted to add a lot of curls to Santa's beard, but wasn't comfortable for passenger. I got some more ideas I want to sketch.
It
was an early sign that this was not a typical way to fly. “Keep to the right of
the runway as you land,” the airport manager casually advised. “There is a
plane bogged on the left.”
Fortunately,
the warning came in plenty of time - not as we descended to the isolated
central Australian airfield at William Creek, but during my pilot friends’
diligent pre-flight phone checks. Still, it’s a bit of a shock when landing
preparation goes beyond...
My flight over Umbria and Tuscany, with a few flyovers of my friend's place in Umbria. Beautiful weather, and beautiful countryside!
This was one of several highlights at our AK roundtrip, perhaps the greatest!
Practical Party Adventure. Boeing Field to Orcas Island for dinner, back over Bellevue for a night flight. Perfect weather.
I kept my GPS on during the flight just for fun and to see what it came out like.
Glider trip over Omarama in South New Zealand. Omarama has some of the best thermals in the world, due to the mountains and clear skies. Being flown here by the pilot behind me, with my wife in a separate glider which you can see in some of the pictures. Check out http://www.soaring.co.nz/ for details.
