Aviation BS and Photo Thread

They do upgrades on them, Cascade Aerospace. Abbotsford, and Calgary operations.

 

Sad

 

Just gonna try to not set my money on fire anymore lol

 

Good luck with that!

 

Beautiful morning to be out.

 

Looking at the grass, that bird looks like a quarter or fifth scale RC model.

 

26 inch tires, so I guess the grass was a bit thick where I parked.



I’m pretty technologically challenged. I’ve been trying to GoPro video my flights and am struggling to figure this camera out. Here is a still from the video I recorded when I first tried to land there. You can see a plane parked where I parked and a tractor on the left side cutting the grass along side the runway. I went to the other strip in the pictures for an hour or so before returning there and landing. The camera quit recording half way through my trip, even though it still had battery and space. I guess it got too hot.

 

A G5 & GTN650? Very nice. That’s better equipment than some regional jets.

The club is great for modern avionics. All our 182s have dual G5s, GTN750, and EDM-930 engine monitors. It's nice to have four planes with the same setup so you're familiar no matter which plane you're in.
The Super Cub is a Cub Crafter rebuild and seems almost new.

There was a bad small plane crash at PDK today after lunch. It happened about 30 minutes after I left and the weather was perfect.

All 4 occupants died in the crash & fire ... directly across from the Downwind Restaurant ... very sad to see this.

 

Dang. That’s a shame. That restaurant on the airport there is neat, I enjoy eating there on occasion

 

Medford airport has some interesting stuff

 

Good timing by chance? I think not:

I never think about what my floats are doing when I'm bashing through the waves on a windy day, but skip to about the 4:02 mark of this video, and check out the movement of the floats on that 206. Wow!!! Or don't skip ahead, watch the whole thing, and get to see a beautiful Otter landing. Not very common to see one that's still wearing the original 1340. What a lovely sound.

Been several years since I've been in a single engine Otter, but I do remember how loud they were.

 

Loudest plane my ears have ever been subjected too.

Edit to add: this is the first fixed wing aircraft I ever flew in,

 

Got my ATP last night.

 

I was curious and looked up the flight path of that bad incident in San Diego. From what Flight Aware showed, I am guessing that poor Dr. had a bad stroke or heart attack. His course was way off of his filed path. Just guessing here!

 

AWESOME for you!!!
