Fulltime RV Living Adventures
Last weekend a friend asked me to fly to breakfast with him in his Cessna 195 – a beautiful antique airplane! We made an experimental trip to Reserve, NM and found a great little airport and some wonderful food! The following video is a short production of the trip. Thanks Dave!
The past couple weeks I have been back in my old home – Mid Valley Airpark. My friends have treated me well and I’ve done enough flying to satisfy the urge. Thank you guys! I am truly blessed with all the wonderful friends that I have. Seeing friends all summer in Montana and then returning… [Read More]
I’m sure most of you have heard about the government’s plan to force all drone operators to register their equipment (aircraft, quadcopter, helicopter, etc.). Of course, this is just another knee-jerk reaction by the government to pacify the public. The media creates the problem by reporting all these terribly frightening and dangerous “problems”, the public… [Read More]
I ordered and received a DJI Phantom 3 from “Camera Professionals” via Amazon.com. I am VERY HAPPY and in love. What an unbelievable piece of engineering! My hat is off to DJI – incredible job boys! I have to first echo several important things that I have read recently. 1. Start with a trainer quadcopter/drone/UAV. … [Read More]
When I sold my Vans RV-3, Daisy, all of my friends predicted that I would not be without an aircraft for long. They were right. I have purchased a brand spanking new aircraft and I am back in the air (so to speak). I lasted nearly four months. This is her. She is a UDI… [Read More]
A great deal has happened in the last month or two. I’ve been too busy to even post updates. I have sold my airplane. I have sold my house. I have sold most of my “treasures”. A new adventure is about to begin!! After waiting and stewing about this day for the last four years… [Read More]
Once again, we were blessed with warm overnight temps so I slept well. An early departure to the north took us to Big Creek for the lodge rebuilding fund raiser. Interestingly, we got there before they were ready to serve breakfast! Apparently those Idaho folks are not early risers like we are! 🙂 Rebuilding the… [Read More]
Note: This is part 2 of this trip. Part 1 is here. Arriving in the Idaho backcountry is always a thrill for me. The beauty is simply unbelievable and the rush of landing at these airstrips – even Johnson Creek (which is a pretty mild place) gets the blood pumping. Our arrival at went smoothly… [Read More]
My annual trek to the Idaho backcountry is something that I really look forward to. This year, the plan was pretty much the same as previous years. An RV-4 friend and I (me in my RV-3) would motor up north and spent a few days exploring the beauty of the Idaho backcountry as well as… [Read More]
Are you lacking airmanship? Sadly, many pilots do not even know what this word, airmanship, means. This from Wikipedia: “Airmanship is skill and knowledge applied to aerial navigation, similar to seamanship in maritime navigation. Airmanship covers a broad range of desirable behaviors and abilities in an aviator. It is not simply a measure of skill… [Read More]
