Orcas Island Flyin
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 6:05 pm
I flew up to Orcas Island Friday for a bit of their fly-in. Saw lots of cool planes, met some nice people, ate some good food and saw some good scenery. That's what flying's all about for me!
The south end of Lopez on the flight up.
A staysail schooner between Lopez and Blakely Islands
Final for 16 at KORS
A Broussard for sale on the ramp
A Stinson L-5 nicely preserved
A Travel Air giving rides
A Sonex arriving and some other others with their tent's pitched
The natural harbor at Eastsound was badly exposed to the south winds
An evening flight home. It looks peaceful but there was a strong west wind blowing and it was turbulent as heck.
All-in-all it was a very good day to be a pilot, and an even better day to be flying a Maule with windows everywhere!
