Wind farm along a Sunday morning flight in the Midwest.
Below the left wing of the Piper with a layer of clouds hiding the “Fire Swamp” below (AKA the Okefenokee). Camera pans for the same view on the right, but below the clouds are highways and farm fields. Skirting the swamp seems the better choice if an unplanned landing is required. #aviation

Westbound over KY in a Cherokee 180. A smooth ride at 6500’ to clear a scattered to broken layer of clouds. #WingFriday #aviation
