Today's flights: Vashon Island to Tacoma

Postby cantflywontfly » Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:35 pm

ok so here is my final collection of pics from today's flights...

was flying the piper cheyene out of Vashon for the final part of today's trips.

really like this aircraft... had no problems taking off, or landing on the tiny, bumpy grass strip of Vashon Municipal.

once in the air, the first stop was Wax Orchads (WA69)

could just about make out the strip!

Image

managed to land, with plenty of runway to spare.



a quick pit stop and a re-fuel (food)

Image



then we're off again... the farmer watching as we pick up speed for take-off.

Image



the view from the wing and the faint light of the night sky.

Image



finally, cleared to land 160R. you cant see it in this pic but i have a 747 right next to me landing 160L

In my best Nick Cage voice, "#1 is bloody perfect!" :)

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
