Quite like last week, here is another flight with a couple of stop-and-go interludes, before the definitve landing at Stehekin State. We border the edge of the area covered by the FTX scenery, in order to move north-east. Very short strips of grass, suddenly appearing out of valleys deeply immersed in high mountain chains, and all of this while the sun is setting down, casting long shadows that will confuse your senses. Stay alerted!

It was indeed a very nice flight. Some pictures here to prove it:









Not much time to do sightseeing enroute, we landed in almost complete darkness!

Nice pics Gunter and thanks...

Thanks to Gunter and LazyEight for joining in on the flight today and thanks Marco for the great flight plan! The scenery is stunning and what better way to spend the afternoon or evening than flyin' and talkin'...

Marco, everyone at the flight today said they can't make the April 24th flight. Perhaps we can take that week off and pick it up again for the May 1st flight?

Thanks Gunter for the great photos. Thanks Bush for providing all this fun, and thanks Marco for the great flight plan! Fun day, great scenery, and great guys to be flying with. See you in two weeks.
