While we have an airport nearby we seldom fly from there. This is our local "aerodrome" with a 360 degree runway, where your landings are always upwind if you so choose
got some nice flying in at tarkio . had so much fun after landing and warming up i had to go up for my last flight of the day . dan holinback snapped this spectacular photo as i came in for landing. it was lighter than it looks.
Got a good separation going on now. I'm learning that to get the tank out its more about the front end going up than the folding down the middle. Had to stabilize the whole rear end with the crane, and lifting the front wheel up. Taking a break for now, more photos later
My baby hasn't had ANY hard landings with me, (possibly some with previous owner) but comi...r a bit". Hmm - not been imbibing at all and hadn't noticed this on landing,...
This is the view that greeted us as we approached Mexican Mountain Airstrip.
After landing and with some hesitation, I check...somehow. I found out later the pilot had crashed here on landing 3 days earlier.
Have to fly > 50 miles away and 3 hours with 10 landings at night.
Among other things, it's hard to judge your altitude at night. Clouds are just blacker spots in the sky.
Black spots on the ground are either airports, or mountains, or lakes/ocean, or rough terrain.
