Did not plan to take shots of this flight but seems like there is some serious weather around Bowerman (KHQM).

I took of from KCLM, about 40 mins from KHQM, give or take. Had a 14 knots cross wind, take-off was, well gliding sideways. Cloud ceiling was 5800.

As I climbed to cruise altitude, 9000 feet I had a 30 knot wind blowing me into Oblivion, flew at a hard angle to maintain LNAV.

Request to decent to 7000 was denied, ATC knows something I don't.

Came into Bowerman, landed into a 13 knot wind gusting at 25. Landed ILS RWY 24. Flight was IFR.

It was jolly Cheesy

Stunning! As you may have noticed, I haunt KHQM myself... If you ever see a Goose around I'm busy working, usually running supplies up the coast to Destruction Island and back. Or tourists over St Helens. But if you spot me jolling in my lekker GeeBee, just try to keep up... I'm out for a little "jog"... Cool

I am always fascinated by clouds, and their effects...

They generally result in an uncomfortable (and often dangerous) trip!... Sad

Great shots....that cockpit looks sharp Cool

"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"
