Shady Acres Aircraft Crossing

by
This clip shows an actual aircraft crossing at Shady Acres, Washington. The motorists are unaware of when a plane is coming due to obscuring trees on either side, and the plane flies low enough it would be hit by a large vehicle. Accident waiting to happen in my opinion! This runway is only 1600 feet long! We just drove to pick up this Fly Washington Passport Stamp, perhaps I’ll fly in there some day!

Skiing Mt St Helens – 2012

***Disclaimer***: A waayyyy too long video with no real substance – clearly I was having way too much fun with Apple’s iMovie here as well as Garage Band…. sorry if you came here for quality content or information; you’re not gonna get it! I’m happy about the screenshot of me skiing a steep line but this vid does not stand the test of time.

Katt, a friend and his dog and I haul a sled full of food and beer to the base of St. Helens, and debut our GoPro Hero cams – the mountain is completely bare and the skiing sucks ass and so do we!

Landing Rwy 26, Astoria, Oregon (AST)

by

Here we fly a low approach to land on Runway 26 at Astoria International, Warrenton, Oregon. I flew in a crab until near the threshold with a small right crosswind. We are coming in over Youngs RIver Bay on the ILS approach (clearly we’re not flying the ILS). If you don’t want to fly in these conditions on the coast, you’re not going to be flying much!

Landing Polson, Montana (8S1)

by
Approach to landing on Runway 18 at Polson, Montana (8S1) in a Cessna 172 just after sunset. I love this approach as it is over Flathead Lake and just above a restaurant and bar with a deck located near the end of the runway. They must love the planes floating in right over their heads!
