Where did you fly today?

[Matt 7GCBC]

The snow needs to be fairly SHALLOW to allow a definite takeoff at places like Vines! (like those guys get in MN) At cabin creek, the only significant snow depth was on the runway which is slightly depressed from the surrounding ground. Vines, being deeper in the canyon had deeper snow, but not the chest deep stuff that there was at Bruce Meadows. When going into Vines, I did several circuits landing downstream to pack the snow down. Landing downstream at Vines was a lot easier than landing downhill at Soldier and Cabin! Yes, you could just go and plunk it down normally the first time, but it seems a lot easier and quicker to compress the snow with the plane than do all that stomping.

I went and landed in 2 1/2 ft. tall corn stalks in a short corn field surrounded by tall trees to look at a tractor I saw on Ebay. How dumb was that?

Depends. What is the damage?

Chest deep and ankle deep snow in Idaho. Pics to accompany report, as requested.

Ah, stomping down a track with snowshoes--great way to warm up

highroad, STOPPING is rarely a problem on skis, unless you're on ice.

Now, getting AIRBORNE again, THAT can be a bitch in tight places.

Stomp, stomp, stomp...

Took advantage of the nice weather on Thursday and went out to bore some holes in the sky over the Willamette Valley. Took off from Scappoose in the pacer and went to hit as many aiports as I could until I had to have the plane back for the next guy. (The joys of renting )

Cornelius Skyport - little soft from the rain.....
Starks T.O.
Chehalem
Sportsmen
Aurora
Mulino
Valley View
County Squire
Sandy River -

Then back to Scappose by the way of the Willamette. Always like flying over downtown portland at 1500'.

Wanted to go to Scottsbluff to fly Clint's J-3 Cub but the weather in Nebraska got the best of us. We stayed in the Denver/Colorado Springs area instead. We did Centennial, Kelly Airpark, Bijou Bottom, Matt's Strip, Calhan astro turf, Meadowlake, Springs East, ran the Basin, back to Centennial then back to Meadowlake for me. Great weather and an awesome time.
