Had one of those "special days" flying today. A bit bumpy below 3000ft, but the secenery still takes some beating. Thought I'd share it with you. Click on the link:

Well, none of them are all mine , but it's nice to have access to others when one of them is u/s (or has dumped it's oil all over the grass again )

Bexil,

Ahhh yes. I've got a few picture like that from the last lot we had at the end of January. First time I'd flown from a snow covered airfield. Quite amusing trying to do the power checks when the airplane was trying to slide off the apron !

Hey Bex are you a "bent" flyer?

Those shots have a distinct Jodel look to them

Do tell - What is it you're in?

SGC,

I think it's an optical illusion - tapered, not cranked. Could even be a PA28!
