It's the South Fork of the Boise river somewhere around here (area circled in red bottom right):

Arrowrock Reservoir and dam. When completed in 1915 it was the tallest concrete dam in the world...

Back home after a (mostly) smooth evening flight home from business meetings.

Yesterday we got to see a plane my grandfather flew in the 40’s. We hope to see another next month.

Getting ready for a tour

It was neat to meet another guy on the tour that flies at twin oaks, knows the guy that owns the plane my grandfather flew

Last minute Lifeline flight to John Tune this morning. Lots of beautiful cloud viewing and a couple instrument approaches. My first time to JWN, man that place is busy, especially for how small it is. Probably the most GA traffic I've seen at an airport, about half piston and half turbine.

Jim, at what altitude was this photo taken? I ask because a friend lost his life just south of Franklin in a BE 35 at 1:00 pm cst today. Track appears that he initiated a climb from 7000’ to 9000’ then all went to hell and the aircraft suffered an inflight break-up. Looks like a small TS was building at his location and perhaps he tried to top it unsuccessfully. Reportedly he, and two passengers, were enroute to KLOU.

Damn, sorry to hear that. That photo was at 9000. We came back north at 6000, departing about noon. Weather was pretty benign at that time. There was some nasty stuff to the east, but it was a ways away and moving that direction.

Flew my Arrow into Pensacola last week. That's a fun airport, as GA outnumbers the passenger jets.

Flying near the Francis Scott Key Bridge recently.

Landing on Tangier Island for a crabcake.

Where did you go? Tried Lorraine's a while back, but I think the crabcakes at 3W3 are better.

Lorraine's is now the only show in town, outside the "Four Brother's" which is take-away and outside dining only. 3W3 ALWAYS a fun place to land and stroll down to the Kentmor Crab House!

We have 60 volunteers going down to Tangier Island in June to live there for a week and help the older folks rebuild their homes...should be a good mission. Been doing this since 2015 with a group of pilots and others...

So, a few more of the FSK bridge on the way home....still a mess but getting better day by day.

Surprised a friend with a scenic tour of the Hudson. Non-aviators are still amazed that we can fly there in a post-9/11 world.

Found this gem in a magazine from a while back, buried in the extra stuff the previous owner gave me years back.

I now feel affordably affluent!
