Can't be that bad in Illinois.

It is that bad. In Ireland they've got scenery that includes cliffs, waterfalls, mountains, rolling green hills...and whisky

In Illinois weve got a mound....and Malort. Seriously, were the second flattest state. And if you've never heard of Malort...just skim the comments

Good end to a great day of flying

A couple from this morning in Naples - my wife forgot some stuff on the plane so I had to go retrieve it and it was a beautiful sunrise. Wish I had brought the real camera but the iPhone does OK!

I see 2 eagles regularly sitting in these trees along the Ohio river just down river from Aurora Ind. I also saw a hawk today sitting in the same trees along the river.
One of my favorite places to fly. If you can zoom in on the second picture you will see the eagle just looking at me as I go by. The have never moved yet.

The past few days have been gorgeous. Installed a new camera and found my Plexus stash.

Hey, I've landed there.

10,500', Verrazzano in the distance.

Harriers mixing it up in a coastal NC MOA near home. Seeing a lot of the new CH-53K helicopter - a family member did operational test flying for the Kilo. Awesome. Ospreys are around quite a bit, as well. Mythic aircraft - when they work.

Descending into Rome, a new city for me

Back to JFK flying over the French Alps

 

[FrankPilot]

Yes, I did take this with an iPhone. Should have seen it in person.

Lovely. Cheers.

2200 NM westbound in one day - and zero meltdown from the kids!

Nice pics! We crossed the grand canyon twice today.

First flight in IMC since I started instrument training. To say it was phenomenal would be an understatement. (Obviously we weren’t IMC when I took these pictures)

 

[ahmad]

Flew a few hundred feet over the Hollywood sign and 3500 ft over KLAX. I look look back and see my 13 year old on his iPad. I tell my wife in the right seat "babe that's the Hollywood sign". She says oh yeah.

um, you wanna take a picture? okay.

meanwhile I was feeling like a kid in a candy store.

100% Relate to this.

Here you go. Same airport. Opposite direction (2 years and a few avionics ago).

Found this derelict in my mechanic's shop today:


They also had a wing off of an archer for a wing walk replacement; that was pretty cool to see:



I may have tried to convince the owner of the first plane that they took his wing off....

Not cool.

I'd have done the same thing.

Do I spy, with my eye, an office chair holding the engine up?

Nosewheel modification.

 

[N4984R]

There appears to be a tail stand/weight attached to the tail tie down. So I’m betting the chair is sitting on the right side of the engine not supporting it. Though from that angle it looks very precarious!!!!! LOL!! [mention]ArrowFlyer86 [/mention]

My airplane is very snobby so it just holds its nose in the air at @Jim K . No support needed from the chair.

True story: they found so much stuff to fix on the engine they needed a chair to sit on while they worked on it....

In other news... @NealRomeoGolf Is your ignition harness original? I've not seen a cloth covered one...

Be careful. You might have some strategically planted trees in your fields soon.

Practice flour bombing with rocks?

California is just the prettiest place on earth in April.

Video from last night, saw symbols on foreflight I'd never seen before.

Look closely and you may see Telluride’s airfield

 

[Jim K]

Lincoln, IL (KAAA) gas stop this morning


They have a very small museum there, and the airport is right next to the NWS Lincoln office & dopplar radar installation.

 

[ArrowFlyer86]

A little afternoon flight. A nice break from flying approaches, partial panel and other instrument training fun.

Little pockets of showers over the area

Bright and sunny to dark and gloomy in just a couple miles.

Welp, not flying that direction...

 

[N4984R]

No flying today but finally got 84R cleaned up, belly degreased, and carpet shampooed

Wow... the area around Coulter has sure filled up. I remember when the airport used to be in the middle of nowhere...

I also remember when Bryan Lake and the Dansby power plant were built.

Thanks for the memories, although you are making me feel old.!!
