Packed and preflighted, my Vans RV 7 ‘Odette’ is ready to fly over the Sacramento Mountains (in the background) eastbound from Alamogordo, New Mexico to Georgetown, Texas.

Rainier in the background. Dave took Captain Dick Nelms, 102 years old, a B-17 World War II pilot for a ride and Captain Dick piloted most of the flight! It was a great day to fly.”
Picture of the Day: Majestic
Rick Tutt submitted this photo and note: “Mount Saint Helens looking from east to west. Photo take June 6, 2025, at noon from a Piper Malibu at 12,500 feet on a sunny day.”
Picture of the Day: Practicing for the Mooney Oshkosh caravan
David Wade submitted this photo and note: “Every year before the Mooney Caravan into EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Mooney pilots get together at regional clinics to practice formation flying and familiarize new pilots with formation flying. Flying together in formation accelerates the arrivals into Oshkosh and is less chaotic than the usual Fisk arrival.”

Here we about to intercept the glide slope into the Watsonville airport. I was flying in the right seat as the safety pilot helping a friend out in his Cirrus SR-22G3 Turbo rocketing along admiring God’s beautiful skies. It turned out to be a great day to fly.”
