Re: My last (?) trip with Whiskyblue...

Time flies - and so did I. After a short trial run up to New Hampshire and Maine I took off last Friday heading west again. wdh-leaving-28M.jpg https://youtu.be/7jcc9TNQ9Lw After two days: wdh-Woolsey-arrival.jpg https://youtu.be/XUGodWQdY-U wdh-Woolsey-pm.jpg https://youtu.be/wDsVp7NzpiM and two ho...

Re: My last (?) trip with Whiskyblue...

A bit of nostalgia set in: heading east to visit a place I landed at during my first trip with Whiskyblue five years ago.

My last (?) trip with Whiskyblue...

You all know that Whiskyblue is for sale, but until she's sold I want to enjoy my bird as much as possible.

Re: My flying journey

In my last video I mentioned an Airworthiness Directive to be complied with after a prop strike.
I made a quip about it, was it a bit hyperbolic?

Re: My flying journey

Great memories: adventures with Whiskyblue, my Cessna 170B. On my way east from the Rocky Mountains, I ended up in the Ozarks. The topography was different, of course, as were the colors, but the impressions and emotions that hit me in some places were just as intense. Richland-RAF-gazebo.jpg https:...
