Where I Fly.

Tom,
Do you fly the river/canyon to get to Yakima? Is that the best way?

Tom,
Do you fly the river/canyon to get to Yakima? Is that the best way?

The canyon, known as the Ellensburg Canyon if you live in Yakima or the Yakima Canyon if you live in Ellensburg, is the direct route between the two towns. I don't fly down in the canyon but stay above the ridge tops on the west side of the canyon. The right hand side in this picture looking south from Ellensburg.

[SkySteve]

Yea, that's it. If I remember right, the east side is Umpanim (?) and is restricted (?) due to a minitary area, maybe even a MOA? The old mind just can't quite remember.

Some of England's green and pleasant (normally raining) land.

Thank you everyone for your great pictures. You have very ably proved why I do not want to go overseas anymore. I am ready to see more of the good ole USA and Canada when I get my SS in the air. You are keeping my hunger going strong.

Wow Dave...Nice shots

Flying to San Antonio to see my family. Texas Hill Country near Boerne, Texas.

Paul, hope you were planning to stay down there a while, 'cause it's been dumping rain up here around your homestead and appears it will continue. (I'm NW of Ft. Worth for Thanksgiving )

It only takes me 15 or 20 minutes to upload a 10 minute video to YouTube. I would recommend you first check your internet service provider speed. Sometimes the ISP's packages offer fast download speed but slow upload speed.

I use this program to test my speed:
