Stillwater Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 For this flight out of McCall, Idaho, I needed to take a slightly faster bird. The Pilatus PC-21 looked just right. So I went west to Brownlee Dam... ... and followed Snake River northwards. Across Hells Canyon Dam... ...through some nice corners... ... up to Lewiston. Over the plains... ... to Lower Granite Dam, ... ... and finally to Spokane. Into the obvious airport. Let me see if I find someone here to share a drink or two...

flyingleaf Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Wonderful trip Gerold. Best potatoes come from Idaho. Too bad I've lost Rodgers phone number. He would've had a beer with you since he lives in Spokane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Welcome to Washington where all the rivers are dammed - several times . I like your Pilatus with the HUD - they'd be worthwhile in any plane though a bit expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Nice shots! McCall is very beautiful in winter Gerold. They have a winter carnival with snow sculpture on the frozen lake. It's a paradise there, not to mention the skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait til the sun comes out, then Snake River would probably look like Tahiti! 6 hours ago, flyingleaf said: Wonderful trip Gerold. Best potatoes come from Idaho. Too bad I've lost Rodgers phone number. He would've had a beer with you since he lives in Spokane. Potatoes might be a begining, but the phone number could help more. At least Rodger is not the only one we know in or around Spokane... 5 hours ago, olderndirt said: Welcome to Washington where all the rivers are dammed - several times .

I did not look at the HUD while gliding over the river, it was just the right speed... 3 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Nice shots! McCall is very beautiful in winter Gerold.
