Father's Day Fly-in

Here are the two videos of this years (my first) Father's day. We flew up to Columbia, CA (O22) for their fly-in. The flight was smooth and we saw Half Dome and circled around Pine Mountain Lake on the way up. The camping was great, about 70 or so during the day, comfortable in the sun and the shade was cool. There really weren't any bugs either (flies or mosquito's) however we did find a tick in Katie's pack & play and a tarantula. I think we ended up with 4 lifers added to our lists as well (birds, we've seen most the airplanes before except maybe the AirCams). Katie did great and the airshow was pretty good for a local fly-in although it was mostly just flybys with no aerobatics. We'll be going next year for sure.




We took a short ~1/2 mile walk to the city which is actually a state park. They have all sorts of old shops such as panning for gold, saloons, and blacksmith. We got our first family portrait at one of those places that takes old fashioned photos. It's not the best photo, I'm missing a chunk of hair and I'm not sure what to think about Katie, but it was fun. I hear Mark is going to take some real photos; I'm looking forward to updating the family portrait :)

  1. Thanks for sharing the videos of your flight to the Columbia Fly-In, we were also there enjoying the fun but don't own an aircraft. I did get a flight in a P-51 a few years ago, the Ridge Runner, what a thrill. Nice Job on the video too.
