A new flying year begins!

Here's a vista that gladdens a pilot's heart:  blue sky, clear apron, open runway, and a plane ready to fly:

Soon we too will be airborne.

It is rare to see visiting aircraft in Nakusp.  Taking off was a student, on a cross-country out of Nelson.  We have a soft spot for this rental plane because it contains our old wingtips - sold when we replaced them with strobes and landing lights.  We can't always spot other aircraft, but everyone can now see us!

Where did we go, in celebration of a fine day?  A two and a half hour circle trip, captured in this Spot Adventure:

My favourite image:  sharing the peaks with a cloud layer at 8,5000 feet.

Here is a strange panorama (yes, Bill is flying the plane, but no, he is not that dangerously thin!), taken in the Incomopleaux Valley.
