In a high wing airplane flying over an airport with a VOR.

What do I win?

 

[KennyFlys]

Some place where you're getting an ambiguous VOR signal?

 

[nddons]

Just crossing over runway "52"?

Flying over air airport with a VOR.

Darn that was my guess!

Just crossing over runway "52"?

That is a darn short runway too!

I guess you'd need both short and soft field technique to get in there!

 

[KennyFlys]

Yep, departing off RWY 33 at KPGA.

Excellent job.

I had a house just under his left wingtip in that photo...assuming that is his plane's shadow

Probably can see the ole homestead in this photo.

 

[alaskaflyer]

Probably can see the ole homestead in this photo.

Yep. Right off the end of the crosswind runway (25.)

Right now I am wishing I was there instead of here.

Wrong! He's above that.

i thought you were in ohio...

 

[Diana]

Deaf, did you cheat?

Just for Richard...

Oh, how pretty!! Where is that? I want to go there!

 

[alaskaflyer]

Lake Powell, just north of Page, AZ. That is Gunsight Bay in the foreground and Padre Bay in the background.

Nope..........just figured.

 

[deafsound]

Nope..........just figured.

To elaborate.....
I've been there. Richard, I figured you wouldn't be too far from HII, and all I did was look at the sectional and see where there was a VOR on the field and deduce from there.
Diana, this photo is for you. This would be the view out the window if Richard had taken a right turn after takeoff.

Wow, we gotta go there!

 

[flyingcheesehead]

Deaf, did you cheat?

Is it cheating to note that the pic is named Page, AZ; look at Airnav, and then Google Maps to verify?

C'mon, post a hard one!

 

[TangoWhiskey]

Is it cheating to note that the pic is named Page, AZ

LOL... yup, gotta rename quiz photos. Good catch.

I was scheduled to go to OH. I was really looking forward to metting Scott and receiving instruction under his wing. I went camping for 10 days in San Diego and on the morning of my last day there I received a phone call from a tour operator at Page. I was hired over the phone and with 3 days notice was told to show to begin ground school.

Consequently I have put on hold my CFI training until the end of this season which should be around late November. At that time I will most likely head over to OH. But with me you never know what new direction I'll take.

These pics are from me sitting right seat on a training hop, other than that one flight I haven't had any time to take aerial pics. I'm currently flying a T-207A. I think of it as a working vacation for me since this area is very scenic and I have always wanted to explore this area. Some more for your viewing pleasure....

The city of Page just voted to put on hold a dredging operation to cut a water course to Wahweap Marina. The pass had not been passable to marine traffic since 2000 due to low water levels. But this year, due to a high snow pack, they are expecting the lake to exceed full capacity. The dam is expecting to release a huge volume of water beginning mid to late summer. This would be the year to visit Lake Powell.

Currently the dam releases 15 million gallons/minute.

Cool, Richard!

Wow, that's great news. I saw something on TV about Wahweap's water woes. (Hey, how 'bout that alliteration!)

Wow Richard! Congrats on the new job! How exciting! We'll be out your way in May and will probably stay in Page one night.

Diana, you MUST let me know when you get out this way. You certainly have the plane for a great tour. It would be nice to see you again. Check your PM.
