Photos of private flying
Got it.
When I was young, I remember being impressed by the picture of the telescope I posted, which I saw in an encyclopedia.

Here are a couple of stills from my first aeros in the Waiex. The inverted picture is deceiving as the polished skins reflect the ground.

Thanks SD. We had landed at sunset and were taxiing to the pumps, and I grabbed a bunch of pics. That one turned out the best.
Picture below was at the pumps this morning.

We live at a fly-in community. Lots of Wacos here. Cubs like mosquitoes, a stash of Stearmans, and so on. Something like 450 airplanes based here. One Waiex.
We flew 430 NM today mostly in one direction. Then I gave my 87 year old father a ride in the Waiex.

We flew a total of 11 hours on our trip. Made it home today. Picture from yesterday:
Today we took off at sunrise for density altitude and bad weather forecasted at home in the afternoon. Made it back.

Saw a Cessna 172 up side down in that pond after a brain fart by the guy flying it . It was C-FLAY one of the nicest planes at the Comox flying club .
Landed there when Comox Cape Lazo was calling seventy knots . Good times .

With a homebuilt it is not all flying. As we roll into our first summer we have had some oil temperature issues. I did a few experiments and am no longer baffled on what to do next - so I took off the baffles and have a modification coming.
Here is my son at the threshold. He is solo and working towards his FAA private rating. Picture taken from the Waiex.
On the Oshkosh flightline.
