    This is from my build thread, but it probably belongs here.

    11/12/14 Centennial, Colorado - Citation CJ3


    12/26/14 Calgary, Canada - Citation Sovereign     An airplane spotter got a cool shot of me landing. I randomly found this on the Internet.


    1/5/15 Lake Tahoe, California - Citation CJ3 This is one of my favorite photos I've ever taken from the plane. This is looking west at sunrise over Lake Tahoe, but you can still see the moon in the middle right. There is no editing or filter on this photo.


    2/5/15 Sierras, Califonia/Nevada - Citation CJ3 This is called a "solar terminator." From high altitude you can see the shadow cast by the earth as the sun sets below the horizon. It's literally the line between day and night.


    4/16/15 Colombia, California - Marchetti My wife got this shot of me doing a high speed pass at a "fly-in" in Colombia, Ca.


    5/15/15 Houston, Texas- Citation Soveriegn The entire airport was shut down due to severe thunderstorms. This is just before Houston experienced massive flooding.


    8/26/15 Lewiston, Idaho - Phenom 300 The massive wildfires over the summer caused us to divert to this small airport because the smoke was so thick.


    8/1/15 Eagle, Colorado


    11/19/15 Mt. St Helens - Citation CJ3


    11/25/15 Bend, OR


    12/6/15 Santa Rosa, California - Phenom 300     The approach into here was at the lowest allowed visibility minimums.

    20150617_075929_Richtone(HDR).jpg If I'm good I get to fly this. It's a Waco upf-7. Couple years ago me and a friend flew one from upstate New York all the way to Rhode island in the middle of February. Never been so cold in my life... Open cockpit with no heat. Yeehaw! Super fun day, wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

    Have my private with an instrument ticket. Working on finishing my commercial and cfi this year so I can instruct during the summer.

    Awesome!!! Love the Waco. I have about 5 hours in one as well. I bet that was a cold trip!

    Flight instructing will be something that you remember forever. Mostly because people are trying to kill you all the time. Good luck with your CFI checkride!!

    Thanks! My goal is to fly those wacos giving tours. I think I have around 30+ hours in that plane. Work exchange so I don't fly it very often.

    I'm glad to see there is some interest in this thread. I need to get ready to go fly now!

    OAK-TRK-SJC-OAK. Basically rich people that don't like driving the 3-5 hours from Truckee back to the Bay Area.
