Darin Scheer of Farson, Wyo., sent in this photo, which was also featured in the Dec. 20 print issue of General Aviation News, which he titled “Ridgetop Landing Above Clouds.”
He tells the story of the photo: “I went flying one morning, only to find my destination socked in by a low cloud layer. I spotted this ridge sticking up above the layer, and was treated to an incredible backcountry memory in my Piper PA-12-150.”
I love the picture and the P A 12 my first plane was a PA 12. Fun & nice to fly.
‘Praying to the Sun God?” No. That’s the ‘Cobra’ yoga position in the Yoga Sun Salute.
Same thing I guess.
Beautiful image.
LOL and thanks for the yoga lesson! (And yes, probably is the same.)
Beautiful! Your Piper appears to be praying to The Sun God.
A lesson for all of us: there are beautiful views above cloud layers…..
Very cool. This is one of those once in a lifetime type moments.
What a lovely picture and a versatile aircraft.
