Page, AZ Fly-In Videos
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2015 2:22 pm
Hey all...
I posted a lot of this stuff on the CTFlier Forum, but I know there are a lot of people here not on that board.
My good friend Bill Ince and I flew our CTSWs from Winder, GA to Page, AZ for the annual CT / LSA fly-in. The trip out was great, and we had a great time there. Flying back was...challenging. We got behind a huge line of weather stretching from south Texas to North Dakota. We went south to get around it, and made it to Victoria, Texas just in time to get stuck under hurricane Patricia! We were weathered in for a long time and ended up getting home SIX days later than intended.
On the plus side, I took a lot of video!
The Grand Canyon (video is 4x speed to avoid boredom...that is a BIG hole) :

The flight to Sedona the morning after the fly-in, a flight of eight airplanes at 7500ft over a scattered layer:

Some low flight over an unoccupied portion of a large copper mine near Tucson (flight of three):

And our MVFR landing (with cockpit audio) at Victoria, TX. The rain starts just as we land and doesn't quit for four days:
