I went on an amazing flying adventure this weekend... into and through the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia..

The highlight of the trip was a stop at KHSP..

Nice. 8-)

Can't complain about flying all weekend - especially when the weather is like that. ;)

Whoa... not a big margin for error on both ends of the runway... but it looks very scenic! Is it my imagination, or is the runway itself sloped? It looks that way in the second shot...

Marvelous airfield...
