  • Golden Hour flight to my buddy Steve's house on Lake Murray in SC. He'd cut a lot of pine trees down just for me. Short cross country flights with remote landings make for the best PPG experience IMHO. Get out there and do some flying, life is short!

    Way to spot that small yard landing and run it out! Full commit and fast legs to stay on those landing gear! I suspect you had floatation device. 🎉 Super cool!

      and lots of altitude! it's a big lake and still cold enough to be dangerous this time of year. I hardly ever fly over it because so many trees and virtually no outs for miles in any direction. if you had a motor out the best you could hope for would be crashing in the water next to somebody's dock, or next to a boat and ask them, or beg them for help

    Wow that was tight, good piloting!

      dude I can't tell you how beautiful our lake is this time of year! Not too crowded. Water temps are still cool enough that there's no algae or hydrilla growth... but it is very infrequently that I make the risk acceptance to spend much time flying over the water. Like I told someone else, the stars really had to align for this to work out. Correct wind direction, good enough winds for me to launch from my place and then of course congruity with poor Steve's schedule... because he's still working (flying) for a paycheck. This however may have convinced him to take up PPG.

    Nice job. If your approach were just 10ft too high you could have glided past the whole LZ. Ha

      I kept plenty of altitude until I knew there were people on boats in his cove in case of a motor out. That last tree on the left hand side needs to come down for this to be more usable. As it was, it took over a year and a half for the stars to align for this flight, with good weather, right wind direction, enough desire to try and poor Steve's grueling airline schedule.
