  • Early Morning Downtown Portland with David and Ann

    David and I had talked about flying for some time, so yesterday, when I noticed there was going to be some good weather today, I decided to plan an early morning flight.  Conveniently enough, his birthday was Wednesday a couple days ago and Ann, our third, had her birthday on Monday.

    As a gift to David for his valued work as her employee and to get him back for recommending my services to her, Nancy, from my flight a few weeks back, paid the share for David and his wife Ashley (my college homie) to go flying for his birthday.  The weather was questionable up to […]

  • Columbia Gorge/Portland Downtown with Kristen, Rob, and Michael

    The first couple days of the weekend didn’t have the best flying weather, but Monday, Labor Day, ended up having some perfect weather for flying after the weekend rain.  Kristen and Rob had their first flights and Michael enjoyed his second. Kristen and I had planned on going flying that day, so I started to […]
