Connie and "IV" (Four)

Our great neighbor and dog lover Connie rubs the belly of "IV" (Four), her ummm slighly rotund kitty. Four is so cool. How many kitties love belly rubs?




IV is a very regal cat. (Connie also has a cat named IIV "Three." ) :)

THE CHUCKWALLA



These little baby Chuckwallas live near the pool in the neighboring park

This guy looked like he needed a good meal

Peeking out from the side of the clubhouse

AWESOME FLIGHT WITH DENNY

I didn't know I was going to be flying today, so wasn't dressed properly. Denny and Paul lent me their layers, and Denny sat on my (almost) bare feet during the flight! We stuck my shoes behind his back. What a guy!
Denny took these shots while we were way up high flying!



Denny's little Tracker and PPC trailer

Coming in for a landing, this part still makes me a little nervous.


Coming in for a landing, look out for cacti!

flying against the bluest sky, it was heavenly today.

I LOVE this shot of our shadow. Denny is waving: (you can even see his fingers) You can also see the lines going up to the chute, and the propeller.

Twin Peaks from our high vantage point


Look at that flat mesa top
Hey Bill M! We have a tower top hill, too.

We got up to 1375 feet today.


Parks from the air


This is the RC (Remote Controlled) plane field. The cattle corral is in the front.

Here's our winter home


The guys on the RC field


The circle high left is an RC plane in flight. The circle to the right is George's desert rail, a Joyner.

Looking wayyyy down on our walking ridge.

We did a touch and go in the onion field

Coming back to the runway, that's Paul below

Not my favorite part of the flight yet......

Can you see the PPC over the mountain?
