Oh Mark...

Postby Rifleman » Mon Jan 31, 2011 1:01 am

Today, Jan 30, 2011........A look across town and the general area they call the Comox Valley out here.........t'was about 5C or at the best, 40F for those who still use the old scale....nice skies and only about a 125 kph wind alongside the ocean.....proper middle of winter for some people........

About time you got some images posted, of your riding ......(wink, nudge, challenge)

Hey rifleman, when do the snowbirds come out for practice
Carriers would be so mush easier to land on if they would just stop turning!!!

Nice photos, Commox Valley is a beautifull place. I've been shivering all day at work even with 500$ worth of clothing on, so seeing water that isn't frozen is a treat!

Very nice Ken. You certainly have an eye for where to stop. :)

Wish I could, but work will probably get in the way.....and since we have no airshow around here, I guess my days like that are all in the past.  I have many memories to fall back on though, so all isn't lost........

Re: Snowbirds ?....check their site for tentative dates on their arrival at the base here....... 8-)
