Aviation BS and Photo Thread

Yup. Heading home northbound, George flying, noticed that and pointed my iphone at it.

 

A couple from yesterday.

 

And there’s time left to clean his britches…

From the comments of Uretsky Aviation, that made me chuckle a bit too much this morning.

Pilatus:


PERRY THE PILATUS!?!

 

All I can say to that is that they sure are nice airplanes to fly, speaking as a right-seater.

 

Go check this out if you can. I saw it fly demos in Reno (stunning) and got some really nice pics of it. Makes sense it is going in the Smithsonian.

Gloriously beautiful Mustang. I saw it there myself. Speaking of Reno, sure do miss that event.

 

On a different note... newbie to the forum and don't have a lot of Tacoma knowledge to add, though I'm an old hand offroader blah blah. And occasionally do some Over Land exploring. Not sure if the following photo best fits in this thread or some other outdoor forum, but whatever. Hopefully some will find it interesting.

Over Land. Shelter on top of Mt Whitney, taken in a steep bank from about 16,000 feet a few years ago. And yes I was breathing O2.

 

Awesome! My wife and I were up there at the end of a 9-day backpack and besides the various Hornets occasionally blasting from Nevada, a sailplane visited the summit and made multiple hot passes while we were up there, sometime below us. I just ran across pictures of it the other day. I'll find that and post it.

Love seeing them still flying!
