Truckee New Years Even Fly-Out Pics (& Video)

Postby emflys » Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:12 pm

Another great day flying around Aktahoe1's back yard. Some great spots. In one day I "landed" on gravel, grass, sand, water and ice.

Great bunch of folks and great flying.

Hey, great pics so far!! I'm not sure what happened to the Idaho guys that used to go flying a bunch. But man, you guys are taking it where they left off. Great pics! Glad you guys are enjoying the flying down there.

Yeah sometimes I think that Bryan thinks he has 31'' bushwheels on that Mooney! He takes it just about anywhere!

Shit Rob, I think all the cool pics were taken by you or Stacy.

Great day. Cool watching Brian put that Mooney places that makes lots of slow tail dragger guys nervous!

I like that one too! Stacey actually took that one and some of the others while we were out playing on the lake bed.

I recognize most of the LZ pics from the last flyout, but the dry lakebed looks new. Where is that one? That looks like lots of fun!

Screw you and your sun. I'm coming south next week and bringing rain and mud with me.

Just kidding, great day and pixs.

Cheers...Rob

It is really a good thing for ya'll to post these pics, but from now on tell us how miserable it was. After all you wasted all of that valuable time and fuel.

Happy New Year and please don't stop.

Absolutely a great job of burning up the dinosaurs. They did not die in vain.
