Another Boring Flight……or was it?
A Boring Flight???
• In a recent magazine article by Mark Twombly I read that :
• Flying is a lot like fishing:• Hours and hours of boredom
interrupted by moments of sheer panic!
• It could be my piloting, but all I remember is the excitement…….
Packed and ready to go: Charts, GPS, laptop, tools, spare parts, camera, camping stuff, food, clothes and toothbrush
First stop at 47K (MOUNDRIDGE MUNI)
Spectacular Patterns over Kansas
Fueled up by police chief at O45 (HOOKER MUNI)
Stinking to high heaven
Only way out of turbulence – UP!
Smooth again at 10500 feet
New Mexican carving
First glimpse of the rockies
Getting into the Painted Desert
Cerro de Guadalupe
Petrified Forrest
One last obstacle….glad I have no passengers!
Safely on the ground, looking back
Old FBO at P14 (HOLBROOK MUNI)
A beacon in the dark
Flight planning
Looking back at Holbrook
Plain, but not boring
Sedona
Bagdad, AZ copper mine
Copper mine runoff
Sonoran Desert subdivisions
First class service in 110 degrees
Life in the desert
Iron Mountain Pumping Plant
Palm Springs
Vail Lake
Los Angeles smog
United Brothers
Playground for a week
Sonex formation at the fuel pump
385SX back in the air
In the crosshairs
What wing damage?
Must be close to the coast
Over the pacific
Can you spell insignificant
Closing in on Catalina Island
Catalina Island Marina
They never saw us coming…
Back over terra firma too close to John Wayne International
Lake Elsinore
Left Downwind into Corona
Looking for fuel in Corona
Close formation
The “Team” is ready for another trip
Heading towards Lake Skinner
All smiles after a smooth flight
Can’t get enough of these two
Getting ready for final formation flight
Count the differences!
Mira Mira coming out of French Valley
In close formation
Any closer and we’ll need another wing tip
Oceanside, CA
Oceanside Harbor
A little dogfight can’t hurt..
