First flight of the summer in the amphibious 206 with some lake splashing and a stuck landing gear that needed more than 200 strokes of the emergecy hand pump!

Seven years away from writing! I went from flight school to corporate jets to a regional airline, then started over as a computer engineering student.

I mounted my camera on the Castlegar FSS tower and recorded an eleven-hour time-lapse of the airport. Already itching to try a full twenty-four hours!

Woke up from a nap to a new Geocache alert and ended up bushwhacking to the top of a mountain near Castlegar! Found the cache just as the sun was setting.

Hiked back up Dove Hill with my camera and binoculars and recorded a short time-lapse of the sunset across the valley. I want to try a full day next!

Hiked up Dove Hill with a friend on a gorgeous day and watched Jazz land on the runway below us. Every viewpoint out here seems to have an amazing view!

I have been practicing emergencies in the sim with another pilot and it really shows how much a second crew member adds to safety and workload management.
