Currently own and fly a 1972 Cessna Cardinal 177B .
I’m reminded it’s #FlightDeckMonday and I’ll participate even though my flight deck isn’t exactly awe inspiring. I’ll cheat and do two. First is fun because I’m in a steep bank over Grand Coulee Dam and looks cool. Second is my boring actual flight deck. #avgeek #GeneralAviation

#WingTipWednesday here with a quick clip from this summer where I got to fly my family from central Washington to Red Lodge, MT for a Yellowstone trip. This is over Butte, MT.

Had a break in the weather, so took the Cardinal up for a spin and knocked the winter rust off my flying skills. We’ll call this Mountain Peak Monday, that’s a thing right? That or I’m two days early for Wing Tip Wednesday. Columbia River visible.

Post your favorite places to fly into for #GeneralAviation - I’ll go first. Grand Coulee Airport is 3W7 and it’s set down in a valley with sheer cliffs on all sides, surrounded by water on both ends of runway. Offers $5 a night camping! #avgeek #aviation #flying #airport #pnw

I hate to admit it but this really resonated with me, lol

I’ll bite. My first photo ever next to a single engine airplane. This would later be my first ever flight, out of KRNT in a Boeing Employee Club rental. Writing checks to the sky ever since.. #avgeek #generalaviation

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My first on Bluesky.

A cold one here, so throwback to a shot flying between Wenatchee and Quincy, WA in the spring morning hours for my #avgeek and #aviation peeps out there. #generalaviation

My most favorite thing I see when I take friends up to fly is when I tell them they can open the window. There's something absolutely mind blowing to people when they realize you can just hang an arm out the window and fly around. #GeneralAviation #Cessna #Aviation

Couple shots as we cruised through Montana over Bozeman and Missoula on our way to Red Lodge. Also a sneaky shot of my son showing how he prefers to fly. #GeneralAviation

My bird of choice is currently a Cessna Cardinal.

Flying through Idaho and Montana while taking my family to Red Lodge was the highlight of not just my summer but my career as a private pilot thus far. Will post more pics and videos of this trip throughout the week. #aviation #generalaviation
