Well folks, now that I am a pilot I thought I would do what all new and inexperienced pilots do..... take off on a trip I have always wanted to do!!
I live at the western end of lake Superior (the worlds largest freshwater lake) and grew up on the eastern end of the same lake where my parents still live. so wednesday morning I planned a trip there along the north shore some 303nm away, jumped in the plane and headed out. The weather was perfect and the fall colours are just starting. it was surreal to say the least. sorry about the photo quality as I am not much of a photographer and the windows are less than clean as are the struts ( I fly from a grass strip most of the time). any ways I hope the link works.
man I love flying!![/img]

There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing

God bless you, enjoy.
If there's a better feeling than piloting your own plane with a fresh certificate over beautiful terrain on a sunny day I've not found it yet.
Thanks for including us and sharing the pictures.

Meh... White shit; frozen blue shit. Really not all that scary unless it is falling in copious amounts in either form. That said, use caution landing in white shit without skis!
Nice photos! I didn't know Maules would fly that high! Mine gets itchy when it is out of the bug layer.
I see you are already spotting moose from the air. You are probably ready for Alaska!

You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!
