Thanks Vrezh. I sent him a text. Thanks again for saving my leading edges from the dust devil that kicked up as the wind switched. Fun day!

The silver-grey padded kingpost cover from my Icaro RX2-190 got left behind on Kagel yesterday, Tuesday 2/23/2021.
If you find it please let me know.
Thanks, JD

Beautiful video, Jonathan, as always.
I enjoyed it.
Is that Bruce in a Swift?

Thanks Vrezh. Yes, that is Bruce and I hitched a ride back on his truck.

Amazingly clear skies yesterday flying from Crestline to Hangar 24 Brewery the scenic way on Xmas day.
Enjoy!

Really fun to watch and listen in stereo!
Wayne gave me this video not long before he passed. I finally got it to post to YouTube with good resolution.
The audio quality is amazing thanks to Wayne's work as a sound pro in the film industry.

If you have Netflix or can borrow someone's account, this was a very compelling drama that is true to the text of the 1983 novel it was based on and well worth watching. We finished all 7 episodes over 2 consecutive evenings and both applauded at the end. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queen%27s_...

Gotta love the place. Flew there recently....

I'm curious how people find out about USFS closures. I couldn't find a link on the USFS website. Thanks.

https://youtu.be/_sI2teqbtR0 Massive fires all over the state obscure the skies in San Bernardino creating a beautiful light as I coast along late in the day. I also flew earlier when it was turbulent: https://youtu.be/ZPUFzIPn3yU https://photos.imageevent.com/aero92/misc/giant/Devore%20Sunset%202.p...

....We work to make this a better place for all.

And it shows. I'm always proud to introduce and re-introduce visiting and local pilots to the club grounds.

https://youtu.be/8zVI26Vm_uY I originally began a secret anthology of my personal FAR 103.23 breaches in concert with Orian Price less than a year before he tragically died. I have since refined the edit and sound track dozens of times trying to get it just right and remove the non-aesthetic element...

Watch out in the Clouds....

Please don't even be in the clouds locally given the amount of commercial and other powered air traffic.

On another note, I see you signed your marvelous watercolor "WINGNUTZ".
I am impressed. If you have an online gallery I would enjoy seeing more.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hour-long flight yesterday to 500' below cloud base just over 4900'MSL. The lighting and scenery were very pleasing but the cold and turbulence weren't nearly as enjoyable. I kept the edit short and to the point. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/orvDVALVcqY http://photos.imageevent.com/aero92/misc/vlcsnap-20...

So sad. Katherine will be so badly missed by everyone.
