Flying on a gusty day

Postby flyboy 28 » Tue Dec 16, 2008 4:10 pm

My buddy Ryan came home from college the other day and went flying yesterday. He asked if I wanted to tag along.

Duh. :)

Very windy day on account of a strong frontal system which brought the temp down 30

Top-notch shots! Looks like a bumpy ride to me...

And I noticed I just ordered the same sunglasses as your friend, should give me a bit of a pilot-look... lol...  ;D
