I was pretty busy on this last Champ flight, so I didn't take many pictures. But I like these... Grin

Climbing out of Borrego Valley, headed west.

After turning SW from Warner Valley. Through the open window... how cool is that!

Right about here we spied a KC-130 refueling two choppers just above my altitude- didn't get a decent picture, but it's on the video... thanks, Rich! Wink

One of the bigger and scarier pictures of Yours Truly, but seemed like a good idea at the time. Grin

Some of the best flying I've done in ages, fun-wise... hasta la vista, old girl... Cry

They are actually visible in that image, but even zoomed in they're blurry. Eventually I'll post a still or two from the tape- got a better look at them with the camcorder.

It was a ways SE of Pendleton and they continued south; I suspect they were fueling up after the display at Miramar, and were possibly on their way to Imperial Beach, although there's usually no activity there on weekends.
