If you put all your airports/off airports on SkyVector, you can make a cool map of the places you've been.  These are mine:

      In North American Continent (US, Mex, Canada, Hawaii)

      In AUSTRALIA  (MegaFauna 2014, etc)

      ALL  (get's a little crowded in this view)

    that is cool wish I could go with you .just remember the dark stuff is the ocean ;) good luck buddy I know you can handle it have fun

  • Dave G

    I would wish you good luck......but you already know that luck will have nothing to do with this......you've got this!......nervousness is just the force telling you to dot your i's and cross your T's.......Have fun.

  • XC Triker

    I'm planning my first night flight across LA for tomorrow night (if things all fall in line). A bit nervous-- Lots of complexities. Maybe I can get Ken to post some "on the fly" updates.

    See you on the other side at El Mirage, @knussear, Sally, Leo, Jim(s), Doug, Ken, Chad, Pat, & everybody.

  • XC Triker

    Saw a good quote today: "If you don't have time to do it the right way, when will you have time to do it over?"

    Has a lot of aviation application too.

  • XC Triker

    I went to the "Back Country Flying" lecture tonight at our airport. It was not really a "How To" like I thought it was going to be, but a "Where To" fly back country (especially in California). I'll post more on this as soon as I can. Some cool stuff. As a teaser, also mentioned, google "Caveman Ranch" -- some guy blasted a series of caves into a local mountain and put in an airstrip, so you can fly in and play caveman!! ;)

  • XC Triker

    I went down to the airport for some landing practice today. Twenty-one landings in 18 minutes (in moderate winds 10-16) all on ONE gallon of gas!!! You gotta love trikes!!!

  • Dave G

    Hey David, I would love to be able to make it to Vegas or Salton or both.......but work has other thoughts on that......sucks.
    I looked a little closer at the printing on the t-shirt in the posted pic.......Its not the alltrikes logo.....I thought it was.
    OK so now I like my t-shirt better.....hahaha.

  • XC Triker

    Yeah, the F-Police did come and get YFT, something about excessive importing. I'm sending him a care package- you know prison stuff, soap on a rope, hacksaw, etc

  • white eagle

    Thanks xc i havnt been able to see it yet and its driving me crazy cant see tom tabbs ither from elk river.been to busy the next couple of weeks training for new job and seminar. Hey what anne said was joke yft didnt really get takin off did he. Do they know we call the faa the fun police .eeeghhh?

  • XC Triker

    Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone. Kinda busy tonight. Sally, great to see you back-- you might want to catch up on CSI here too. I still gotta watch the new YFT movie, new Pics, hey cool wind sock CB, etc, ...

  • XC Triker

    Hey, It's a "Blue Moon" tonight here in the states!! Next one not until 2015. Was it a blue moon yesterday in Oz, or (shows ow dumb I am about things) are your moon phases not the same as ours in the Southern hemisphere view?

  • white eagle

    Xc ive got a great idea. You let me borrow youre nice big shiny tanarge. I give you 250 screaming nurses and all exspences paid with hip hop hot tubing free food in seattle. I go to fly in with tom and george and nate.
    Good trade

  • XC Triker

    David Coy (@wambleska) -- Damn right! Looks great.

    Notice to Any Trikers: I would love to share ownership in an electric trike !!

    Ken!!! Let's do this, we can time-share it between Vegas and Oceano (the Pirate's Lair at Oceano has room to put it). I think it's totally doable to get it on my Prius (trike inside / backseat down), wing on top with some Mike Barber Remora Racks !!

  • white eagle

    Hey xc doest that electric in canada look good.

  • Hedgeview

    Hi XC, Intrigued to read about your adventures around Glacier Nat Pk. Sept last year, wife and I motorcycled throughout BC down into Montana where we based ourselves at Whitefish for a while, all the while searching for any Trike activity. There was none, to our great disappointment. Sounds like we were a year early. Fantastic scenery from the winding roads, and, as we suspected, even better from the air. Well done.

  • XC Triker

    Henry should be landing at Felt's Field (Spokane) at about 09:00 am. Going down there to meet him now. May take a rest day today, finish getting ready. Big day starts tomorrow.

  • Rebel

    hey XC yes that was the 4th of july in powers oregon there were seven of us doing a fly over 5 fixed wing and 2 trikes. as for as the people getting into triking there always seems to be someone getting into triking everywhere I go. this year tho there are more fixed wing students from the old days trying to become sport pilot, that already know how to fly but didn't get into system yet. however am always busy training trike pilots.

  • Jozinko

    Hi David, the tropical hot we have here too. On the weekend will be 100°F here... But on Sunday my wife and me will travell to Croatia. YUPIIIIIIIIII !!! We love the sea... I hope my friend Željko Ploh will prepare his boat trike (FIB) and we will to fly too again :)

  • XC Triker

    Oh, did I mention- the sun went down hours ago, it's still 91° F outside !!! It's like Africa HOT !!!

  • XC Triker

    Sorry I haven't been more available to keep you updated- Driving 1000+ mils, then setting things up here, etc. Now got to get some sleep- up at 4:30am to go flying with Ttabs & GeoBlaze

  • Ricky De Agrela

  • Ricky De Agrela

    Hi XC Triker
    Yup! Over 2000hrs. And "little" countries like USA and Mexico only count as one each and take a while to cross. In Sydney at the moment.
    U in USA? Flying heaven. :-)

  • XC Triker

    it's 06:30a, I'm heading out twenty hours of driving to Idaho !! See ya

  • white eagle

    xc what am I right about, that I gave Dave the correct info or that Iam as computer illiterate as a fly about to get hit by a fly swatter?
