    PIREPs KEKS (Big Sky, MT)?

    If the wind is above 15 knots the ride is rough in Paradise Valley, past Dome Mountain to Gardiner and then across the Park. The prevailing winds are from the Southwest, if one continues to Jackson that places you on the leeward side of the Tetons with downdrafts coming out of the chutes...

From the South across Henry's Lake and across Raynolds early in the AM is usually good. For a visually spectacular flight turn South at Livingston fly down Paradise...

    Thoughts on Lake Buccaneer?

The smaller Lakes are really not 4 person aircraft, not only from a room perspective but also performance. Best of the smaller Lakes was an EP. We truly loved...

    If there were a malaria pan epidemic all the spray planes in the world would be up knocking the vector "mosquitos" out of the air to control the spread.

    Ever feel unwelcome at an airport?

    Quite awhile ago flew to Hawk's Nest on Cat Island in the Bahamas. When we landed people rushed out to ask if we were the "relief" airplane? There was no water for 3 days and they were bathing in the ocean and drinking rum for fluids. We had a reservation for a week and decided to move on...

    My "Last" Airplane a Wonderful Experience from Aviat

    Growing long in the tooth we decided to purchase our final airplane. As we have some land in Montana with an airstrip a Husky was the choice. We went to Afton and found a 180 A-1C that was left over from the prior year. A reasonable price was secured and then I flew 10 hours in it at Afton with...
