Over Coronado, CA, February 2011 |
The Centennial of Naval Aviation kicked off in San Diego with a unique Parade of Flight featuring a variety of old and new aircraft that saw service in the US Navy. I got myself a birds-eye view from 10000' overhead and the rare chance to see the Blue Angels from above! (This photo also won AvWeb's Picture of the Week.) |

After the rally this year, I visited the Olympic Peninsula. |
KCVO Corvallis, OR, June 2011 |
I also got an aerobatic ride from a friend who has an Extra 300 based at Corvallis. A more appropriate photo would have been a snapshot during inverted flight, but I was too busy enjoying the experience to have the presence of mind to take a photo like that. Maybe next time. |
KRIF Richfield, UT, September 2011 |
A fuel stop enroute to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. A brief downpour passed through while grabbing lunch there. |
KJAC Jackson, WY, September 2011 |
The weather was ideal the entire time at Yellowstone, with the exception of the day I hopped from Jackson to West Yellowstone. Gusty winds that day made for a bumpy ride over the mountains. |
Over Yellowstone National Park, September 2011 |
The Grand Prismatic Spring is quite striking from the air! |
