The essence of IFR flying


Stillwater

Recommended Posts


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...

Nice journey Gerold.  Shame the weather looks rather moody.  Cheers,

It was an early morning flight (to have more shadows on the hills). Wait til the sun comes out, then Snake River would probably look like Tahiti!

Wonderful trip Gerold. Best potatoes come from Idaho. Too bad I've lost Rodgers phone number. He would've had a beer:P with you since he lives in Spokane.:D

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...

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. 

Thank you OnD. These dams are good marks for orientation, and well added to the scenery.

I did not look at the HUD while gliding over the river, it was just the right speed...

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.

That sounds great, Jack. I did not know that, but I will check in Mrs. Internet!
