2016

This is a highlight reel from all my flights of 2016.

It has a lot of cool places that haven't made it into one of my videos before. The uncharted Anasazi ruins scattered around New Mexico, the window in the Rio Puerco valley, the strongholds at Banco del la Casa and Mesa Pueblo, the Blue Hole Spring in the middle of nowhere, Laguna del Perro, Needle Pinnacle, gypsum lake takeoffs at the NM/TX state line. Plus a lot of my favorite spots you may have seen before including 4 season views over the Manzano Mountains, low cruises through the Caldron of Hell and the Jaws of Death, and high altitude flights over Colorado.

My 2016 totals were 49 flying days, 123.4 hours, 7404 miles, 140 landings.

The YouTube page has a list of scenes with bookmarks.

    Jeff, this an awesome video.  You sure do have same majestic landscapes and scenery in NM.  Did your 2016 flying adventures take you in to Colorado? I thought I saw one or 2 places that might have included southern Colorado.  Flying in NM is most definitely on my flying bucket list.  Again fantastic video.

    Spectacular views! Looks like the only time you were on the ground was to refuel, pickup passenger or sleep. It is so amazing to be able to go where we go with these machines. Thanks Jeff for showing us so many coolscapes!

    Wow, Jeff you covered so many places and many mileage in 2016. Many of them, I even don't know where they are.

    Happy Triker,   A majority of the places have no names on the map.   Local pilots (myself included) just made up names for them.  That's half the fun of flying into the unknown, being surprised, and making up a name and sharing these spots with friends.

    jeff trike, I'm planing to come to NM, CO sometime in May or June this year in the period when peaks are still covered with snow. Hope to fly with you and other friends.

    Happy Triker, That's great.  Let me know when your plans firm up.  We will fly.
