This was the 3rd roll to meet many great friends and fly around balloons over the beautiful lake. Many thanks to Joe, Anne and David to organize this event for us.
Took my next door neighbors up for their first trike flight. They were very nervous but overcame the fear. As expected, I have more friends to fill the back seat when Debbie can't fly. :) I think I get more enjoyment out of taking people up for this unique experience than they do.
Around the pattern and landing at ButtonWillow- it was prettier than suggested by google satellite view-- granted, it is still "Stark" as Ken says!! ;) But that's the fun of camping, getting away from it all, focussing on friends and flying-- no distractions
The words to this song are easy to remember! AHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH! This was a late Oct trip from Spokane WA over to Ellensburg WA to do a little work with our Geology friends at Central WA University.
I wanted to fly with my father visit our friends to another airport. Spring thermal is strong, I know it plus a little wind. But what awaited us there at 3:00pm was unexpected... I was completely sweaty... We were sitting for a nonalcoholic beer and flew again two hours later.
There we had all there: nice weather, nice XC flight, landing at "new airport" for me and adrenaline too. My friends engine stopped and he had an emergency landing at field.
