North Circuit flying and some Crossfit

Great day on the North Circuit. Hit 9 holes today and 4 of them were new ones. The new horizontal feels great along with the new Jackscrew, bushings and my 8$ paint job to cover the green replacement parts on the tail section. I did the numbers my self. You can tell up close… 

One guy today at the airport said that I sure know how to beat up a really nice aircraft…  Isn’t that what its for?? That sam guy also once told me that he had 20 thousand hours of flying and he has never even dinged a plane. I think I will just leave that comment alone…  It does however make me think about the line that says something along the lines of getting to the pearly gates beat up,bruised and battered. I think you have heard that one before.

Anyhow, great day in the mountains and desert. All before the huge T-storm rolled in. Here are some pics
Stampede SW

A new one at Stampede

Have not been to this one for awhile – Chillkoot Ranch

Nice new parts and paint… 

Frenchmans Ranch and all 40 acres FOR SALE!!! $399K This could be a flying church. Tax free 

The owner of Frenchmans plane – Great guy – Hung out with him for awhile today listening to his stories. He is 80 and still flying

Did several touch and goes in this dried up river bottom but did not stop. I dont like snakes… 

Black Rock – home of the hippies, Burningman and lost souls that Bumper finds when he is flying

This one will be called “Little Blue Shoe” its just another little lake bed in Nevada

The lake beds are in great shape. Very dry with deep cracks

I have no idea what this is…anyone? Its not a bed frame

This guy had a bad day

Maybe the pilot survived and now lives here

We call this one Dead Cow lake bed – Notice the different texture in the mud. Not deep cracks here but flakes

The quintessential middle of nowhere Nevada meth lab

Last stop today on the way home I went looking for BCP member Chance. He has a lot of land with an airstrip. Buzzed his house 3 or 4 times but know one came out. Ended up landing at his strip. Normally I just land in the green grassy field closer to his house but having never landed at his actual strip before I figured it needed to be added to the circuit. He has a really cool spot!

All that riding around in the plane I then needed to get some exercise
