Flew down to the Hood River (Oregon) fly-in not long ago. Squeaked under some Columbia river rain showers in the AM,

 

had a very scenic weekend with good company!

 

Avid fits in a half hangar, or I'd pay twice the rent--and still be on the years-long waiting list...Thanks for the great design

 

Dean Wilson! And Jabiru for your smooth little engine!

Last month I flew a couple hundred miles to Bend, Oregon to finish some business--why drive if you can fly, I says to meself?

 

My route took me up the Columbia gorge over the open badlands east of Mt Hood--didn't want to fly over the forests of the

 

Cascade range.

 

Flew high enough (6500'MSL) to avoid turbulence. That 2200 Jab runs cool and smooth!

East face of Mt Hood--the next Mt St Helens? We've got a few in waiting...1655476202_DSC01745(Large).jpeg.1bdf09858b3217b459ac6637b755eb57.jpeg

The pink smudge (Phos-chek) shows where the fire bombers won this battle--lots of wildfires these days...
