They are saying that in a simulator they have proven that he could have made it back to the airport. If he knew it was coming like they told those in the simulator. and started immediately to turn back. Were schooled what to try to do and it was in a simulator, so if you landed short and killed...

The video I got wasn't good I had something wrong with my camera, so I didn't send it to Youtube and I don't have it any more.

I made a flight on Friday another on Sat. and one today Monday. but I didn't turn my spot on as they were rather short hops.

Good I hope I can make a few trips into there.

This is a picture that Leah Condon took on our flight into Thunder ridge. Over the hangar, between the two trees, and get it down on the ground before you go over and down the hill. What fun!

If I get there on time to help I could fly some over to Gastons as well.

I land in the back country of Idaho and Oregon backcountry places. So I wanted to find a place to fly some POA members into while I was at the fly in. Thunder Ridge is the place I have choosen as it is only 4 miles west and not quite standard approach.

I just called the owner of Thunder Ridge and got permission to land there. He invited me to stop and have some ice tea and cookies. So we will have to do that if anyone wants to fly in with me and shut down and meet Mr. Garrison . Thunder Ridge is 45AR on AirNav.com. We had fun landing there...

If I can get permission from the owner, and if I am up to it after the trip to get to Gaston, I may make a few ferry flights to Thunder Ridge again this year. That is if anyone dares ride with me. Some complained that they didn't get to go last time I did that.

Spike, did I read that right that you might not make it? You are one of the reasons I am trying to make it.

I am so looking forward to getting back to Gastons another time. I am excited and it is still four months away. I hope we have some VFR for my trip. Spike do you know who is in charge of good weather in the POA?

I got a call from Rick Hancock, and the date in my pilot's log book says 9 /11/99. It seems like Burns, OR. had a day rodeo and Vale had a night rodeo. In fact it might of been just a bull riding rodeo, too long ago to remember that. Rick said he needed a bull fighter that was in Burns and he...

I still had my 170 Cessna airplane and three ladies, I don't want to call them old, but they were all senior citizens. They had talked and talked about why I didn't give them an airplane ride. I told them I would and they always seemed to have an excuse to not be able to do it right then. The...

Thanks Spike I hope to start to write a few more of my flights up on here it gives me something to do.

I was looking through my log book and I came upon a flight I made on 5/26/2007 to Big Creek, ID. I took Gary and Ann McClellan and their 12 year old grandson Tyler Flint. The Lodge at Big Creek was open then and we could get breakfast, the lodge burned down in 2008. I remember Gary was...

My mechanic gave me a lesson on how to get water out of a high wing plane like a Cessna 182 with long range tanks. He say to get the water away from the wrinkles in the bottom of the bladders, push the tail down to the ground, wiggle the wings and with the tail down sump the tanks.

Each year that the Vale Mural Society had their auction, I would donate an airplane ride for an hour. Each and every year Benny Maag would try to buy it. In fact he had bought so many of them that I was running out of places to take him, that he hadn't already been to before. So I called up to a...

I plan on flying my 182 back so I can give some rides into Thunder Ridge. I have been told by some that missed the opportunity last time they wanted to do that.

I have my reservation for the 14, 15, and the 16 I think. My son called and said that he made them for me. So I will be there if all goes like it should.

There is an article in the General Aviation News by Amelia "Mimi" Reiheld. called: STILL FLYING THE BACKCOUNTRY AT 81.
