Im with you on that. I need some new scenary. Florida has its perks but it gets old. I like being able to see both the gulf coast and eastern coast at the same time. Every once in a while you can spot some pretty big cliffs.
anyway. Nice pics.

We were moving one of our P-3 air tankers back east for paint. Weather over Utah forced us up to FL230 (unpressurized). Is that looking to Aspen?

Must be cool flying those Orions. Not too many four engine pistons flying around these days. My buddy is trying real hard to get on with these guys http://www.buffaloairways.com/fleet.htm in Yellowknife.
My avatar is a photo of Shasta dam with Mt.Shasta slightly visible under the wing. Took the picture in mid Sept after a fire broke out just south of Dunsmuir.

Speaking of turboprops, check this baby out...A DC-3 with a turbo conversion.

I think we sold them our DC-4s and did their electra conversions.

Nice! Never seen that before. Kind of reminds me of the old Ford tri-motors.
