This is the USS Sachem, tucked away in this creek off the Ohio River since 1987. It is a skeleton of what it once was.
Tight air space under the bravo and above the wires.

First time aerobatics. I was fine with every maneuver except for inverted. That one really messed me up. Didn’t spill my cookies though so I see that as a win
My buddy sent me this picture from a 737 that he took of the islands.
Are you cheating on the Aztec?

Shhh... the GI275s are nice though!
Nice pictures but it would be more interesting if you told us what state and area your taken pictures of.

Good point! I had too much going on when I threw these up there. Edited my post with the location.

I like that policy for this thread
Mine for reference was just east of Oceanside airport, OKB, headed towards southwest-ish

Lake Tahoe was gorgeous as ever yesterday.

Nice to see a little snow. The fires were bad this summer when we were there.
I believe the road on the ridgetop is the Blue Ridge Parkway. The most beautiful section of the Blue Ridge Parkway is likely the 20-30 miles or so Southwest leafing out of Asheville From KAVL area.
I was under the hood flying a ILS and I hear my instructor taking pictures of the 767 next to us on 18L.

Those are beautiful shots... You don't get bounced around that close to that crazy mountain? Maybe I'm just a big baby, but I give more clearance than that to the ridges in the Berkshires.

It depends on the winds for sure. I’ll generally stay higher or avoid altogether if the summit forecast has winds at 30 knots or more. But today was one of those exceptionally good days. Winds aloft at 6500/7500 where I was flying had a very consistent 15knot wind, according to my G5. Slight updraft on the windward side, but I didn’t detect any down draft on the leeward side. Very smooth with no bumps at all in this area.
Weather observation on the top of Mt Washington (https://w1.weather.gov/obhistory/KMWN.html) showed slightly higher wind speed, but it looks like I hit the sweet spot being there around 14:45 today.

I’m curious what the labels under your transponder mean?

Radios are pinned into the audio panel backwards, so navaid ident tones are reversed, I’m guessing

That would be my guess. Lots of room for maintenance on that bird. That’s all I’m going to say.
We did an overnight to French Lick, IN, KFRH. Very nice airport. Filled up on $4.50 avgas. They found me a t-hangar overnight as there was snow & ice forecast, which of course didn't materialize. The hotel picked us up and dropped us off.
Went ifr but were able to get a visual approach
The atrium was the largest free- standing dome until the astrodome was built. It's pretty impressive.
Paoli, IN is only 8.6nm away, so we had to go see the runway extension there.

They mean aeronautical things are all a compromise, deal wid it.
Nice pictures!
We go to Paoli once in a while for their cheap 4.00 gal fuel. The fuel attendant called the extension their "aircraft carrier".

First flight of the New Year yesterday. LAX-SLC. Had a nice 3 weeks of not getting used on reserve until this trip.
This past Friday after work my buddy and I flew our planes to Zaneville Ohio ZZV just for fun.
We had planned to leave at 3:30 pm but his plane would not start. It has been cold, real cold around here. All water is frozen in my hangar. His plane has sat for 3 weeks since he fly's for SW and does check rides for them in Dallas. When he comes home we fly as many places as we can together.
He plugged his plane back in and we waited about a 1/2 hour and it started. It was pretty cold up in the air, like 10°f, burr!!
Zanesville covered in snow, we don't have any snow back home.
So after flying into a mild direct head wind for 1.5 hrs we get to ZZV right at 5:59 PM and the whole place was closed up. No one around. Can't go inside to warm up. FOB hrs on the door said 7-6 pm on Fri. Must have left a little early.
We blew it by getting a late start. It was real cold there(went down to -6°f that night) and no self serve fuel that we could find in the large snow piles in the dark. That was nerve wracking for me since I had planned to get fuel there. No FBO no fuel truck drivers. It was so cold outside I didn't take any pictures outside, we both could only take refuge in our planes.
We flew back to Lancaster Ohio and got I fuel which was on our way back and I had enough. What a winter flight.
I landed at ZZV right at dark, it was all night going back at 6500 with FF. Another couple pins in my Ohio chart back in my hangar. Planned to land at at least one other but the fuel changed that.
This trip was my buddies idea, he wanted to go farther away to either Baltimore or Huntsville. I said no to those because I had to work early the next day. He get's me into all kinds of adventures, I got watch him though! lol
