High Desert Fly-In 2012<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Post\"<\/a>by\u00a0robw56<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb Sun Oct 28, 2012 1:30 pm<\/p>\n

I figure this fly-in needs its own dedicated photo and video thread so here it is. Thanks for putting this together Kevin! One of the best fly-ins I’ve been to.\u00a0\"=D” \/><\/p>\n

First plane to the fly-in 2 years in a row now! We got in friday night and had the place to ourselves.

Tieton couldn’t have been happier

We went to breakfast in Minden the next morning and when we came back there were already several planes on the ground.
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No fly-in is complete without a flame thrower, so Lowrider brought it in the 206

At Three Wagons
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sand was pretty deep
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mike landed down lower in the firm sand
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had quite the selection of firearms to shoot
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kevin landed a new spot
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Too bad this came out blurry
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what’s left of a pumpkin we threw out of the 170 at 1000agl
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Desert sunrise
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was a pretty gnarly spot for the 170, there’s some big rocks in there
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a tailwind takeoff so I played it safe and left Stacey on the ground. I was going to have someone with more horsepower come in and pick her up. I was able to land at a smoother longer spot about a half a mile away to pick her up. We now call this spot Stacey’s Ridge.
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is where I picked Stacey up again
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On to the next stop, Wild Horses
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back to Three Wagons

\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was fun making curved takeoffs around this bowl
\n\"Image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Light sand good, dark sand bad… Good thing we had about 15 people to help push him out

Nice work Rob! Just home and looking at my pics as well.<\/p>\n

You should change the thread name to “High Desert Fly-IN 2012”<\/p>\n

Here is a great photo to keep some folks guessing for a bit…\u00a0\":shock:\"\u00a0…I think his new nick name is “MudFlaps”

What a great time! 26 planes in total (maybe a couple more) and 17 over night…\u00a0\"=D” \/>\u00a0\"=D” \/>\u00a0\"=D” \/><\/p>\n

WOW!!! That was a blast! I think it was C170 Pete who said “That was the best fly-in since….forever.”
\nThanks to Kevin, his dad, and Lowrider for their hospitality and firewood!
\nThanks to everyone else for putting up with our crazy dog.
\nIt looks like we missed out on some great flying and stories today.
