    I'm glad someone got to enjoy the great flying weather yesterday as I was stuffing glass into bathroom corners.

    Nice shots DF4!

    Chuck great shot of Mt St Helen. I remember when she blew. We had the fall out here in southern Alberta.
    Steve those pictures reminds me of our flight. You are a great ambassator for the Kitfox community. I will echo your thought to all those who are building or want to own this superb aircraft. It is worth the efforts and sacrifice...keep calm and keep going

    Just got home from a trip to KFFA, First Flight Airport, Kittyhawk NC. 20 hours total time on the trip just over 2000 miles.

    9 LS airplanes, 12 people, 7 days. It was awesome.

    I had the opportunity to fly the plane to Show Low last weekend to attend a week-long welding workshop for school. Saturday morning I flew from Show Low to Rock Art Ranch (Google it) that is just South of Joseph City and landed on a dirt road leading into the ranch. Kelly Baird, a friend from Utah was down to the ranch to help his Dad Brantley on this one of a kind dude ranch. Every year (June / July) they host a group of archeology students from several universities around the country. They are there to work ancient indian digs as they map the past. There is a museum of many artifacts (Complete pottery vessels, arrowheads, tools, the list goes on). His dad gives tours of the ranch almost daily and I was able to join them yesterday morning...fascinating! Afterwards, Kelly took me to a good place to hunt arrowheads. We didn't find any after 3 hours of looking...but we did find some nice pottery chards. Was a good time. I flew home this morning passing Winslow on my right direct to Payson then on to Falcon Field. Had a nice tailwind most of the way and made it in about an hour. Beautiful scenery! GoPro video below.
