Nice catch.

Nice catch.

Indeed. I remember how cool it was the first time I saw an EC-135 (or whatever it was) under me - pretty cool thing to see as a student pilot especially!

Nicely captured.

Can you move one of the plates if you land hard?

Thanks. I don’t plan on testing that theory, but if I did I would definitely do it on the east side. The west side will be ocean!

A few years ago I was fortunate to catch the colorful ex-SP 4449 on an excursion through the Columbia Gorge.

Not quite an aerial view, but aviation related, at least.

Necrothread!

Ran a buddy down to Plymouth MA today from NH to pick up his Cirrus from annual before our weather goes to crap for a week. Coming back got routed right over Fenway.

Snoqualmie Falls, WA. After most of the spring runoff. At the height of spring runoff no rocks are visible and the spray reaches 1000 ft.

Here's the story on the giant rubber ducky.

Here’s the deal with that giant rubber ducky in Tacoma

You’ve probably seen the photos: a giant rubber ducky floating in the waters around Tacoma. Well, here’s the deal — and why it’s ruffling feathers in Canada.

Clingman Dome, Smokey mountains.

Not from the air, but we took this pic a couple years ago on clingman dome. They were right beside the road not 30 feet from us.

That's real close to home.

That's real close to home.

Fly through there once every couple of weeks on a natural gas line. Beautiful views year round.

 

[EvilEagle]

That's real close to home.

That’s not far from where I grew up! Def a beautiful place to fly.
