Re: Where I Fly.
Did another volunteer flight for the Bateleurs today. www.bateleurs.co.za
To photograph illegal development and sand mining on the Wild Coast of South Africa for a television show called Carte Blanche.
One Kitfox will be on television.:D
The one picture is of the presenter, Devi and I. The farmer was interviewed!!!:eek:
The other picture is of a place called Hole in the Wall, for obvious reasons.
Beautiful coastline.!
Left the farm for Port St. Johns 123 Nm away at o6h30, and got back for lunch. 4.5 hours of flying and I felt useful!

Re: Where I Fly.
Had a great weekend flyin at Fairmont Hotsprings, BC. Flew over the mountains and the clouds on the way there. Afternoon BBQ,set up camp, evening swim and supper and pancakes the next morning. Great flight home with 35kt tail wind. Capped the day off with a landing on a sand/rock bar. Super weekend fun:)

Re: Where I Fly.
Hey Mic
Glad to see you becoming a seasoned mountain guy!
I couldn't make it Fairmount. CYYF closed now for 3 days because of smoke from the fires in WASHINGTON . There must be over 20 fire aircraft on the ground here.
Hope we get some breeze soon to clear things out.
Cheers

Re: Where I Fly.
Hi Reid,
nice story about using your Kitfox for 'good'. I really like this series ( Where I Fly) and its also good to hear from you guys in SA and NZ as well as the guys fro all over the US. Haven't seen many lately from my fellow country men, Europe and the UK though! Perhaps you will post a couple of pics on route to Narromine Matt?
cheers

Hi Reid
Thank you so much for flying this important mission for us. Believe me, feeling useful is an understatement as without our volunteer pilots such as yourself, it will be impossible for The Bateleurs to provide an aerial perspective on important environmental issues. We are really grateful! The Bateleurs - Flying for the Environment.

Re: Where I Fly.
Took a trip this weekend in my Kitfox from Portland to the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound. Stayed overnight in Friday Harbor and then flew next morning to Orcas Island and Lopez Island. Snapped a few pics as I toured the islands in beautiful weather. There were many Beaver and Otter seaplanes coming and going all day.

Re: Where I Fly.
Very nice, I had a friend that lived just outside of Friday Harbor in the late 70s and early 80s. Visited him a couple of times out there and really liked the area. Took the ferry from Anacortes to Friday Harbor each time. Would like to do it like you did though. Jim Chuk
