• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Orcas Island - Bowerman

Down safe at Bowerman.

Pretty much clear weather, with just a few clouds in the passes.

However, these flights are instructive, and may be a money-and skin-saver if ever I'd consider getting a PPL.
I dare not admit it, but who sees what's wrong on the landing picture... :redf:

But nothing a few affectionate taps with a sledgehammer wouldn't fix. And a green Duenna is a good Duenna.

Flight time: 00:36:05

Take-off weight: 2214.6 lbs
Landing weight: 2137.4 lbs (-77.2 lbs)

Fuel consumed: 77.2 lbs

Haha !!
Take-off was completely fogged in, but I was counting on it to clear up enroute.
But when the clouds finally parted what I did see didn't match the map ... at all.
High mountains all around ???
When big water appeared ahead it finally dawned on me... I had taken off from Bowerman, as per the saved situation, not from Hood River. :monkies:
Taking off again... from the right airport this time.
 
Down safe at Jackson Hole.
Mount Blackmore in thick clouds, just where I didn't need it. A few moments with beating heart until passing the ridge, hugging the 10k ceiling. Then visibility got much better. Phew.
Nice sightseeing flight, with Yellowstone and the Tetons lined up.
