All these beautiful clear sky photos might lead some to think that west coast mountain flying is a piece of cake. (with weather like in those photos it can be, but days with weather like above is the exception rather than the rule)

Hey Mr. Bean! A "sticky" is when the topic stays at the top of the forum, so when great topics like this one comes along, it is right there to see when you open the forum :o)

How are ya doing? There should be a message from me in your PM's, lemme know how you're doing man!

Hey Benny Goodman!

I am fine thank you, hoping you're as happy as I am. I will write to you soon.

Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, may I take the liberty to show you all this wonderful shot from Lucky 37, 3 years ago...God does time flies!

Some awesome Pics everyone.

Marking removed from Beaver shot due to Beaver pilot possibly not knowing shot was taken. I need to make clear that the my last posts awesome pictures were taken by coworker and bush pilot F.F.

I feel very lucky to see the things I do most days, and I am proud that I fly where I do by choice (in reality, my wifes choice, but that is another story).

For a while I used to stare mindlessly at this when not sleeping:

Exciting for about 5 minutes per flight.

Although I do miss flights to destinations that allowed me to work on a tan around this time of year:

I am looking though other coworkers collections and if permission is granted, I'll post some more unbelievable scenery shots.
