Fun flight with a buddy today, new vantage point with 2nd GoPro mounted on pitot tube.

Low transition after takeoff (new perspective, putting the 'low' in low transition)

Upside down somewhere over El Capitan Reservoir

Gear down and locked on short approach into 27R at KSEE

Was a great fun flight although minor air system glitch again... ;^(

Took this pic of the Flagship Detroit when I had to divert to Denton airport on the way to my private checkride.

VFR and unlimited visibility today.

Almost no traffic to deal with

She's in her happy place too

Mild cross wind and I had to go around once but I nailed it on the second attempt

Hey. Look. A (relatively) haze-free day in Alabama. Take a picture. It won't last.

Some screen grabs from the acro flight yesterday, really liking the pitot tube vantage point as well as the shot from rear cockpit glareshield.

Diving in for smash in a loop (entry speed is minimum 300kph/162 KIAS)

More fun than a human being should be allowed to have!!

Not my pics, but this was the best place I could find to post, and there are beautiful shots throughout. Need to go find this guy's facebook page.

Sunrise this morning at the Beacon Cafe at T67, Hicks Airfield, Fort Worth, TX.

Just got home from a camping trip in Idaho. Headwinds were stronger up high, so I flew the entire trip at 1,000' AGL. Come along and enjoy the view.

Lonesome road in eastern Washington:

Snake River:

Harvested fields in southeast Washington:

Barge chugging upstream on the Columbia River:

These cliffs are almost 1,000' above the river:

A BNSF coal train starts across one of the several causeways along the north bank of the Columbia River:

Don't mess with these guys (westbound on Washington State Route 14):

Rounding a bend in the Columbia, looking up at windmills and Mt. Adams:

Cliffs on the south side of the Columbia, above I-84 and the UP main line; John Day River in the distance. It's a hot day and bumpy over the dry land, but delightfully smooth over the cool river.

This replica of Stonehenge at Maryhill WA is a memorial to the fallen of WW1. Aliens must have made the strange circles in the parking lot.

this should be a calendar or post card somewhere!

This is the first I've seen as well. It's a brand new 22. I fly another 2015 22 and it doesn't have static wicks.

Come to think of it, I also haven't see one w/ ground adjustable trim tabs.
Does this plane not have roll trim?

It has aileron trim

There are two black static wicks out near the wing tip, too.

Wanted to get in the air for some practice today, my wife agreed to go with me even though she's terrified of flying. She said it wasn't too bad, not sure why. We stayed relatively low at about ~1500 to stay below KSTL Bravo, I made sure to tell her what I was doing when I was doing it, and she thinks the fact we were flying over familiar areas might have helped.

Anyway, it was pretty hazy so we didn't have the best views, but it was the first time I've flown down the St. Louis riverfront so that was cool. Made a couple calls to KCPS to let them know where I was and what I was doing as a courtesy since I was going to end up near their airspace.

Another great Young Eagles Day at EAA Chapter 14, Brown Field San Diego (KSDM). Yak ran great and I continue to get more comfortable with it.

The Yak parked at Brown and ready for some 'pay-it-forward'.

Navy League Sea Cadet Joshua and his family

Look Ma, no hands!! Tristan has some flight time already and did really well (he flew with Sean D. Tucker last year so now he has flown with 2 great pilots....)

Really enjoy these Young Eagles days even though it is a real production in the Yak, getting all my exercise just pulling 12 blades through before each start and pushing it around the ground.

For Acro Gimp. I thought this was a fine example of a Yak-52 at the Halls Air Show today.

Halls TN yesterday. Arnold Field is a former WWII B-17 training base.

Big fun today, first formation fly-over mission for the John Nichols Field Ultralight Fly-In. 3-ship. lead was a Yak-50, a friend and I in the Yak-52 as #2, and another friend in his Yak-52 as #3.

Shots from my GIB, first pass was in Vic formation

2nd pass was close trail, look carefully and you can see the Yak-50 in the upper part of the canopy

Shots from the GoPro
Passing over Nichols in Vic, I was #2, right wing

Set up in left echelon for the overhead break when we recovered back to Gillespie

Lead 'on the break' for landing at Gillespie

There are two black static wicks out near the wing tip, too.

If Cirri don't normally have static wicks, then those must really be Chemtrail emitters.

How on earth did I miss a b17 in my back yard

Yeah it was a good show for a fly in. Horrible ramp conditions though. It was worth it to watch multiple P-51 passes at the end.

Smoky day in the Pacific Northwest. Mt. St. Helens in the foreground, and behind it Mt. Adams, with an active fire on its southern flank.

Nice view from the KSTL ramp as a bit of weather moved through on Friday evening:

 

[AcroGimp]

I had my first taste of Basic Fighter Manuevers (BFM) or dogfighting yesterday with a former Navy Aggressor pilot in back seat, he was from the Squadron I pay tribute to with the markings I put on the Yak, VFC-13 'Saints'.

Too much fun.

I'm envious, great pictures as well!

Now, did you get him with a rocket or the cannon!?

Love this thread!!! I can finally contribute. Here is the view from my Zenith CH750 STOL that I finally started flying this summer after 3.5 years of building! Don't think there is much out there that gives a view like this! Lovin' my STOL!!!!
