Just flyin' around my hometown this morning.....beautiful day today Cool

Looking South down the Okanogan Valley....

Headed back North toward Tonasket.....

...then East over the mountains.....

....to the Aeneas Valley...

....and she says "could you take my picture?".....hold 'er steady I said.

Looking for a nice field to land in.

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"

Very nice Chuck.

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