Out under the ceiling…and the last flight of the year

 

I spent a good portion of the late morning, early afternoon yesterday flying around under the ceiling. I received a message that flying was off on the west side due to winds and fog so I decided to burn an hour anyway. After all I spent the first hour digging out of my hanger. Check out the deadly ice hanging. Makes for a great sound when you open the hanger door.

Once it was cleared off she was ready to go.

And I was off…Check out down town Truckee and the holiday traffic.

Departing toward Squaw Valley VOR

Thread drift…just saw this photo of 260driver coming in for landing… :lol: One of our favorites…

Back to my stormy day with nowhere to land (except for the airport… #-o ) (Skis will go on this week)

Here is a good one. Who has the better parking.
Squaw Valley? They have a lot of cars.
Image

Alpine Meadows? They also have a lot of cars and are very strategic in placing.
Image

Or maybe Boreal?
Image

Regardless, it sure was a beautiful flight…Thats what its all about… :D
