A decent picture of this super-slick Beech...

The club's Citabria hauling the 2-33 aloft.

Herb went around after dropping the rope, and made a normal approach for a change, with Farzan in back for a ride.

Herb touching down... too bad I didn't track it properly. ::)

This Cherokee oozes class in bare metal... very nice.

Best of the day, I think: a Katana looking good in the low sun.

Fantastic pics, Sean. I really wish I could have made it out today. But, Christmas trees won't sell themselves. :P

Great series, Sean!!

It's great that you can still get up this time of the year.

So, James how much are your Christmas trees?

They vary by size, but a standard eight-footer is $59.99.

If you want, I can get you a discount if you're willing to make the trip up. ;)

Nice shots Sean,  Thanks for taking us along,  Don't you guys have any snow? Mother nature must be dropping it on this side of the mountains! Mark

We've only got a sprinkling so far, but it's only December, and not even officially winter yet. ;)

Yes I forgot I think we are a week early as the "Winter Solstice" is sometime around December 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I would like to have a real tree but with my Wife's allergies and asthma I have to have an artificial tree so that she can breath.
