New Photos

I don't really have much to say. I have put 70 hours on our new Saratoga since picking it up in Vero last month. We are demoing a new Malibu on Friday, so it may end up being traded in with less than 100 hours on it. I had a friend killed in his Saratoga last weekend, which sucks. I also took on a few students at the college I attend. Luckily they are all very good pilots. Other than that, nothing is really knew. Any way, here are the photos.

Enroute from LOU to GED after a truck convention. It was actually pretty cool, I enjoyed it. Luckily the weather stayed north of our route for the most part. Sadly, the weather that was over Baltimore played a role in the crash of the Saratoga I was talking about earlier. Sorry for the crappy quality, we were flying into the sun.

Picking up the Saratoga at Piper. I guess the plane was only a few days old at this point.

Waiting for a turn to ESHIW for the GPS into GED. Everything you really need to know is right infront of you.

Slightly less advanced than the last two

My boss (and one of my old CFIs) didn't have his hand on the throttle on downwind....so...he lost the engine...payback is a bitch!

An expensive mistake!

Those are really the only semi-interestings ones I have. Leave a comment if you want.

Thanks,

Alex.

Awesome pics! Just curious as to what camera you're using?

Yeah CK, your shots are always really awesome.

Everytime I see FRED, it takes me back to my Dover days. I see they've wasted no time in making it a cann bird.

Great pictures as always.

Just curious but in the first pic, the altimeters are different...is this standard practice or is it something that gets set "whenever"? Never flown glass yet....

Thanks for all of the comments. The camera was a Canon 400D.

The glass altimeter had already been set to 29.92 as we were climb to an altitude above 18,000. The back up altimeter had not been reset yet.

4th pic looks like a PA22 Tri Pacer.
