She did think it was pretty cool that we could drop the kids at school, go to Chicago for lunch, and be back in time to pick them up. And the archer is not exactly fast.

A number of our club members do their medicals with him

 

I agree! I would prefer flying in the mountain. But hey - I take what I get...

 

The new Tappan Zee bridge at dusk

 

Awesome pic. And I still refer to it as the TZ as well.

 

Just as it will always be the Newburgh Beacon bridge.

 

Thank you for referring to it as the "Tappan Zee"

 

What are they trying to change the Newburgh Beacon Bridge to?

Why can't they leave these bridges and tunnels alone. It will always be the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and the 59th Street Bridge.

 

My kids are going to be weird, and I'm okay with that.

 

Beautiful day in the E TN/N GA mountains. Flew from our strip in Lenoir City to a private strip near Suches, GA (High Valley, GA87). Karen grabbed this panorama from the back seat:



(Even cooler on FaceBook where you can pan around)

Had a friend tagging along in his REMOS:



And I’m not an early morning person, but this E TN sunrise ain’t bad!

 

Sunrise over the Wasatch Mountains and the reflection off of Utah Lake

 

My departure from 4r9 Friday

 

Takeoff score: 9/10. you almost went in the water. LOL

 

Does anybody know what this is?

 

Another sunrise during my training

Thanks! It is hard to see, but I am standing behind that kid looking in the cockpit at my first ever airshow.

 

But that's what it IS. And between the TZB and Newburgh-Beacon is the Bear Mountain Bridge, when it was built it was the longest suspension bridge in the world:



My Hatz isn't exactly a traveling machine, but it sure beat Labor Day weekend traffic on the way there last week... this is I-95 where it goes around New Haven harbor, staying above the class D.

 

Did a thing this week

Boston to Portland

 

Here are some pictures from recent flights.

Barlow's Knoll in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I was careful to stay well to the north and use the zoom lens and zoom in feature of the photo editing software.

A friend arriving into Gettysburg for lunch.


It took this friend about seven years to build this. He was departing Sky Haven Airport in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania when we arrived to drop a plane off at Griggs Aircraft for some avionics work.


My 1972 Cessna 150L. Woodstock has the 150hp engine, STOL kit, vortex generators and the tailwheel conversion. This is at Pennridge Airport in Perkasie, Pennsylvania.

 

Well.. what was her answer.??

(she does know you are furloughed/under employed right now...?? )

 

That's a good looking plane. What's it's cruise speed?

 

Smoky skies here in central AZ, from the fires in California.

 

She said she only dates Hertz employees now!

 

Thank you!

I throttle back to about 65% power and get 105 knots. About 7gph.

 

Short final M93. Then over to M21 to see my old buddies. Stopped in at 2M0 (Caldwell Co) Princeton Ky, courtesy car over for some of the finest pizza in the area. Plus I deliver for my bro lol

 

Nothing screams aviation (Ok, maybe that's a stretch) like a Mooney squatting on the ramp. A Comanche is a distant second lol......Think I'll go read some old Bax Seat articles.

 

Flying in Alaska is awesome!

Knik River


Knik Glacier







Lake Hood in Anchorage

 

Are you up there in the Mooney? Awesome Pics

 

Thank you! We wanted to fly in the Mooney but customs in Canada said that we cannot enter Canada due to COVID... Flights were cheap so we flew commercial.

I took these pictures while flying with a friend in his Zenith.
