Beeville Chute Out

Travis and I headed down to Beeville, TX to join the BARF (Bay Area Recreational Flyers) group for their 6th annual Halloween Chute Out. We had a good time and I got in a few flights. Everyone there was very welcoming. I'm looking forward to next year!

We got in a short afternoon flight Friday afternoon.

Saturday morning, we got up early and headed to the lake where a group of Rick & Fletch's friends had breakfast waiting for us.

On short final for breakfast!

I took this on the way back to Beeville. It was nice of this farmer to make such a cool picture!

Back at Beeville!

See you guys next year! Thanks for throwing a great event!

I've been trying to get everyone to head out to Smithville for awhile. Today was the day. A rancher cleared his trees for cattle, and spelled out his name! I've heard that NASA uses it for calibration as it can be seen from so high up and is so accurate.

Chip, Chris, Scott, Bill and I all showed up, so it was a lot of fun. They were laughing at my windshield I made, but they landed before I did because they were cold! I was nice and comfy behind my new piece of plexiglass!

Here's a photo from Google Maps.


These are the first photos I have of Chip with his new parachute.

You can see his shadow coming through his parachute!

I love it when the light shines through like this!

A couple of Bill.

Here's his shadow no the underside of the chute!

Chris and his son Dustin going in for a closer look.

Hope you liked them!

Before the Fly-In

I'm a little late adding this post. The fly-in was 9/27.

We had a local fly-in yesterday. We got there early to get a flight in before all of the GA traffic arrived. It was a little foggy, which made for some neat photos. Chris and his daughter Maddie know how to pose! Travis flew with us too, but he was behind me and then headed back early to meet his wife and son to check out the airplanes.

We were headed back to the fly-in. It was foggy, but some of the photos came out okay.
