Tall grass, deep sand and wild horses

Just a fun morning flying around the “South Circuit”. These photos are just a few samples of the endless flying opportunities we have when we hold our High Sierra Fly-in, pill in October.

Had a few new landings and several that many of you may recognize if you have flown with us.  Anyhow, winds started to pick up (seems like thats the theme this summer) and I figured it was time to get back to the hanger after a good morning run.

Here are some photos.

South East bound to what we call the “South Circuit”. Big Blue here

Where there is water, there is green

The “Tire Factory”. This is a cool spot to land and look for big tires! Its part of the south circuit. I did not land here today however. Just a flybye

Wild horses here. I forget what we call this spot, maybe its “Wild Horses?” This is where we lined up the 15 or so planes last year for the team photo during the High Sierra fly-in.

Some very tall grass here. Did 5 or 6 fly-byes here looking at it for big rocks and logs then committed. It was fun. Its part of the dry lake bed thats now grown over so I was very confident in the fact it was going to be smoooooth. I was more concerned with the idea that it could be soft as it was so green. Ended up doing a light touchdown and some serious mowing and then came back around and committed to it. It was dry as bone.

MT Prop getting a good test today mowing grass

New spot on the lake. Fun approach and DEEP SAND

This spot here is “3 Wagons”. I have taken many of you here before.  Its a staple on the south circuit. The sand on the beach here was deep and soft as well. The lake itself is very dry and hard.

Parting shot. Good times on the “South Circuit”
