This here's me flyin' my Navion and wearin' a nice cap.
ETA - I dropped her out of warp-speed to give the camera a fighting chance. Those are Fredericksburg, Texas peach trees down below.

Sucks the fun had to come to an end, Pickle. Sure looks like that would be a lot of fun! |

I'm not in the pic and we don't own it anymore, but this is my favorite airplane. I love the 210.

Years ago, flying an Arrow. Man I liked that thing. And last year, looking for trouble in a 172.  |

It was my most difficult to date but I love this job, too bad the contract ends soon. Skagway huh. I have quite a collection of those old bush-pilot memoirs ... One of them the pioneer flew a "mosquito" (?) out of Skagway over to that long lake to the east ... but it took him about 3 months to fly back - great story. |

It was my most difficult to date but I love this job, too bad the contract ends soon. What are you looking for at those points? I had a route that went from KGLS to approx 20nm East of KCRP then east to the mouth of the mississippi back to KGLS. I think it was around 7.5 hrs for the day, GPS point to point, SE 177RG, day VFR looking at oil rigs for leaks. We finally got to move up to a Twin Comanche. |

I wasn't looking for anything other than clear air since we don't fly IFR. I was flying a charter from Juneau to Sitka to Haines and then caught a ride from Haines to my temporary home in Skagway. Those points are my routing. Between JNU and SIT I got into some serious shit weather but luckily I was able to work my way out of it. I love this job. |
