Nice! But, what's with the tracks prior to your GPS art work? Were you crop dusting or flying a search and rescue pattern for a kitten?

We're doing some precision survey work with a LiDAR system installed in the plane this time around.... Flying lines that low & close makes you do funny things by then end of the day... But that's about all I can comment on. The first rule of LiDAR is... You don't talk about LiDAR....

Not many airplanes can pull up beside me and just stay there. This guy did. I'd love to have one.

is this the new top secret navy plane I've been hearing about?

Reminds me of the Pietenpol that a guy had painted up as a submarine hunter, I have old film of that somewhere, it was pretty sweet.

You know, I didn't even realize it had a Navy paint scheme until I saw the pictures I took after the flight. I've seen one (in pictures) painted up with a Coast Guard scheme.

I'll just say this. It was not fuel related

Who's the fat ass hiding in the left seat?

Also looks like CHO. Unless it was said already.

Thanks capnflyright of course that was my first fuel check. This was a max range trip for the lear 35 and my hand written fuel tracking was a double check of fltplans estimated fuel burn. Fltplan is great but when you have a 30 year old airplane and a 4.5 hour leg I think its a good idea to keep 2 eyes on your landing fuel estimate. In the end we landed with about 300 lbs less than fltplan said we would. Once we were sure we would make the east coast with plenty of fuel we were a little more generous with the power.

Daughter took me flying tonight. She's kinda crazy. I'm pretty sure if her feet could reach the rudder pedals we would've spent an hour snap rolling all the way across north Idaho.

Did a low pass over KTTS

3 mile long runway in perspective

Arg, how did you make this happen? I asked for 4 years to get into 2932 33 34 etc. No dice.

No shuttle there anymore. They've got to use it for something, I've heard it's fairly easy, as long as they aren't about to launch something.

2932 and 2933 are still closed to the public but you can fly into 2934.

Forgive my use of iPhone filters, but I took this a month or so ago.

Bahama trip?

BTW, love the altitude

 

[Fencer]

No, I would tell you. Just visiting Florida for the weekend to collect promised free food.


Edit; altitude was 500 feet. iPad is non certified and lies a lot.
