March Photos

Citationkid · March 30th, 2008, 16:29

With the tempatures starting to come back up, I am starting to get back into flying like I was a few months ago. I hate flying in the winter, so, outside of work, I rarely do any flying. Flying more = flying more different planes = more photos. Enjoy!

No GPS, no autopilot, no XM radio, crappy VORs, I'm not used to this!

One of the rarest planes I've flown. A 1955 Fuji LM-1, basically a Japanese T-34 with a four seat cabin. Sort of like a Bonanza mixed with a T-34.

A really nice 182RG

Enroute to Richmond in the 421

Above the icy clouds

Mytle Beach bound around spring stroms

Leaving MYR the next morning, it'll be a long flight

Breaking out on top

Deviating around the nastiest of the stuff

That's all,

Alex.

Great pictures. How many different types of aircraft have you flown?

Sweet pictures. Now that you are flying more, you should post up some more pictures!

It was over 150 last time I counted, not including different varients of a type (ie 172K, N, M). That includes anything I have hand flown, not only what I have been actual PIC. Like I count the T-28 ride I got when I was 16, even though I was obviously not checked out in it. I used to try to fly every airplane I saw.

Once I again...I'm jealous. Very. Jealous. You're one lucky bastard

Nice pics. The rare one, the Fuji, looks to be showing her age. Cool stuff though, keep them coming.

nkoenig · March 31st, 2008, 07:42

skidz · March 31st, 2008, 09:39

There is an Easy button in the 172 in the first photo, but I didn't get it in the frame. Neither of them work, no matter how hard you push them

bigcat · April 11th, 2008, 00:37

Dreams really do come true...hunh? nice pics

FlyOrDie · April 11th, 2008, 04:44

I know you've probably answered this before... What camera are you using?

killbilly · April 11th, 2008, 10:12

Dear Alex,

I hate you very, very, very much.

Love,
