    Thanks for that video link Lowell. Wonderful perspective of the Bay area.

    Clint Bazzill took a group of us Phoenix based Desert Fox Squadron guys on a very similar flight maybe a year after 911 happened. Flew down the coast to
    San Luis Obispo for lunch then back to Phoenix. One of my most memorable Kitfox flights. A day similar in visibility to your video. The scenery was spectacular.

    OK, so I will have to re-title this to Where I Want to Fly

    Ran across this video that reminded me so much of the flying I was introduced to a month ago. I got the fever bad

    Ha, ha!! Dan. I just knew that would happen. You've got it.....good, not bad! I have an idea. Why don't you and a few of your cronies (you guys know who you are) fly up to Utah next spring or early summer and I'll make sure you get the full fledged disease now that you have the fever. It's a lot shorter trip than Idaho. About three days here and three days in Idaho and you will need therapy , you just won't be able to find anyone with the cure. You do have relatives here and there isn't any reason not to visit ......

    That reminds me, I'll be in your part of the world Oct 9-16. When is Copperstate?

    Dan,
    Very interesting Video and well done. Seeing the floats then the tires making the big splash brings up memories. In our annual or more often Flights of six two or three of the guys liked washing their tires as often as possible. I have video of some of those flights. My computer went through some tough times recently and still not up to speed. I hope to You Tube some of those videos as well. Just waiting for some reliability on the desktop.

    We took a flying color tour through northern Michigan with an overnight stop at Mackinac Island. The island has an airport and is a fun place to visit. No cars are allowed so all transportation is by horse carriage or bicycle.

    The large white building is the Grand Hotel which boasts that it has the worlds longest front porch at 660 feet.

    We passed 100 hours on the plane since first flight in late June. She has been absolutely trouble free and a really fun flyer.

    John, beautiful photos. Would love to stay at that Hotel. The fall colors are incredible. Great use of the beautiful Kitfox. Enjoy every flight.

    I knew exactly where that was before reading the captions. I'm a Michigander and my family has a cottage near Petoskey, which isn't far from the Mackinac bridge and island. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.

    I bet you'll recognize this place then Phil. The Bayview Inn in Petoskey.
    Our Son got married there in August. Petoskey is such a nice town and I bet you enjoy going back to visit.
