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. 
Main strut seals now reworked ...

What about rotary wing?
I don't have own any aircraft or have any pics of me flying anything. Heck I'm not even a rated pilot yet. I do have about 12 hours so far though, with my first flight being in this R-22.

sf340b - is that TDPD??
Here's me flying the mighty mighty 737-800. Too much airline coffee, I guess, only way to explain the CRAZY eyes. 
ETA===> OK, I guess that isn't really a flying pic, we were still at the gate. |

The Hurricane was the first attempt at their monoplane fighter. It was a good airplane, but was quickly outclassed by the Spitfire.

A fun little even the first time I flew "for hire".
Today: 
That was a long-ass-flight thanks to all the weather I had to work. It was my most difficult to date but I love this job, too bad the contract ends soon. |

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. |

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. |
