Another good report Wayne. I can still play copilot if you want to do a video.
Thanks for the report ! Can't wait to get up to Rockwood at the end of February Might need the auger extension by then ...
That would be fun because I'm not so good at taking pictures. I just point and hope. That day (Saturday) it was extremely windy and bumpy once I got up around 300+ feet, but at the airport just light winds. Moosehead was gusting up to 30 kts. When your banking the aircraft in the wind and trying to take pictures makes it challenging at times. I was mainly making right turns as that is the side I like to fly from, from the flight instructor days. I seemed to have the wing strut in all the pictures. It was still fun though and I'll go up again, so maybe pick you up in Brunswick and you can do the pictures/videos. This weekend I'm back up to Moosehead for the derby up there.
Nice pictures. It reminds me of back when Bud Holt taught me to fly before he moved back to Alaska. He soloed me at 8.5 hours in his Cessna 172. I was a little nervous to say the least. I used to with him when he flew clients into places then bring them back out. I guess I was the wing man on those trips. Lots of things ill never forget, fun times and some close calls. I did a few touch and goes on Sebec Lake after a big rain. The lake was glare ice and Bud wanted to get out to leak so he landed and the left wheel broke threw the ice....pop. There we sat...lol I hoped out, gave it a few tugs and he throttled out of that situation. Thanks for jogging my memory on this rainy day
