Morning Gang:

A few photos of my recent flight to MV2007 and beyond. I'll try to do
a couple a day to give you some idea of the flight.

Steven Green, mkIII, just west of Russellville, AR, where we spent the
night in the FBO, which was opened up for us to use, plus the courtesy
car. In the back ground is a nuclear power plant. Gives one some
idea of how large the plant is compared to an aircraft with a 30 foot
wing span.

My early morning flight at MV:

Lake Powell from a Kolb:

Interesting rock formations in Southern Utah or Northern Arizona:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_051.JPG

Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, is rather salty:

A quick stop off at the Alvord Dessert prior to arrival at the Rock
House:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_098.JPG

Fun flying on the Alvord:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_112.JPG

John W flying the Owyhee River Canyon:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_116.JPG

John W taking off from the Owyhee Reservoir State Airport, Oregon:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_137.JPG

Flying from the Rock House over to Rome, OR, for fuel, auto fuel that
is:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_146.JPG

Fill'er up:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_147.JPG

Ha! I beat the 18 wheeler to the gas pump:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_148.JPG

Three musketeers on the Alvord, John W, Larry C, and Miss P'fer:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_151.JPG

Home of Larry and Karen Cottrell, the Rock House in SE Oregon dessert:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_160.JPG

I theenk I got mooned. Three of the four musketeers, now includes

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_169.JPG

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_172.JPG

it out?

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_177.JPG

Larry and Roger on the Alvord:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_186.JPG

High plains and snow just west of Jack Pot, Nevada:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_197.JPG

Jack Pot airport and the casinos. Catus Pete's owned the RV park and
their casino was right next to the parking pad and gas pump. Had
lunch here in the casino. Was reasonable and excellent:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_198.JPG

Great Salt Lake, UT:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_206.JPG

Walden, Colorado, where I spent the first night on the way home to
Alabama. Condensation from my breath froze on the inside of my tent
that night. Elevation was 8,250 feet ASL:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_220.JPG

Beautiful, peaceful morning in NW Arkansas, my last morning of four on
the way home to Alabama. I departed Neosho, MO, at 0610 that morning,
a record for me and Miss P'fer:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_222.JPG

Rice paddies in Mississippi. This photo was shot for Jim Hefner's
wife who misses trees, water, and rice paddies:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_227.JPG

You know you are getting near home when you cross the mighty
Mississippi. This particular tow is pushing 27 barges. That is a
big'un:

http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/MV2007/%20_229.JPG

Well, I fooled myself and completed the flight in one sitting.

Hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much as I enjoyed my flight.

Hi Russ:

Somehow, I thought drooling was a normal product of old age. Wink

Yeah John, I got it figured. I think! You came forward using the left set of tracks, made a sharp turn to the right, probably using your right brake to help. The left wheel continued in a nice arc, while the right wheel stayed still, even going backwards a foot or two, then all wheels going away and curving to the right to your final parking position.

Was I right?

Some beautiful pictures you have there. Thanks for sharing.

brake.......

Larry,

Thanks for that video. That's about how I envisioned him doing it, but with a little bit more Hot Rodding than I thought. [img]http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201d20638/16[/img]
