After take off from Okanogan Legion (S35), the Okanogan River, a tributary of the Columbia River, in the background.

South down the Okanogan Valley.

At 10,000 ft.

You can see the mouth of the Methow River here, top right.
(you fly up this valley in the FSX mission resort supply)

Nearing Chelan Municipal (S10)

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Awesome shots Chuck.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
