Spent the week touring the town with "Australia's best beaches" (so said a sign, which I missed a photo of :bang:) - Esperance, West. Aus
I do hope you will forgive the instagram, and various other apps used for these, but I did not want to drag the DSLR through sand. Again. But it was a great chance to test the iPhone lens kit I got for Christmas :)

Would not be a pilot if I didn't take a photo of the coolest thunderstorm/sunset/rainbow I ever saw while eating dinner

And finally a local rock formation we stopped at on the way home, known as wave rock

Pretty neat! Looks way different from the Caravans I fly. Is it a texas turbines conversion? Was just talking to our Director of Maintenance this morning and he wants them but the initial investment is large so takes some convincing for management. Like the airplane?

No measly 900 Texas engine on this one.. its equipped with the 950 Garrett conversion from AeroTwin in Anchorage. There some subtle differences between the two kits ie, the Texas kit being designed originally for the jumper/VFR float plane market and the AeroTwin for year round Alaska IFR operations, plus they recertified the airplane for FIKI up to 9096 gross wt. Having a earthquake with finish later.

You weren't kidding! Just saw the breaking news on CNN. Good luck.
