I don't think someone has started a picture thread, so I'm going to start one. I was fortunate enough to take a bit of a working holiday from my "real job" and do some real flying over the last few weeks. Here are a couple shots of the super van. The first is in Arrowhead lake in the Yukon and the second is on Withers Lake... also in the Yukon.
Speaking of Super Van's: That one pulled 2000lbs out of a .4 Mile long lake at 4500' ASL, plus enough fuel to do the 270 mile leg... and land with an hour of fuel still in the tanks. I know Caravans don't typically come to mind when one thinks STOL... but these little garret monsters are...well... monsters.
For the camera nerds out there: The first was with a Fuji X100s, I love that camera more then I will ever love a human child. The second was from my Iphone... because it's always with me and never ceases to amaze me in the detail it captures... it's in no where near the same league as my fuji... but for the 2 seconds it took to make that pano, I'll be using it more and more.

Hey I just mentioned that I should find you to go bicycle riding sometime.
Do you ever fish when you're up there or is it all work?
Phones take a reasonable picture these days and even a guy like me can work them.

Picture 1 was one of my favourite moments in my flying life, when I got to take my son on a short ferry flight. We were light and when we took off, sitting in the back my mom asked my son "did you feel that in your tummy?" His reply: "yeah and in my penis too".
The second is a beauty TCA Connie sitting outside the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field, Seattle. Taken last week.
Edit: I have no idea why the first one is upside down?? It didn't show that way in the preview

Looking over my right shoulder:

One of the best-sounding airplanes I have
ever heard. Better than the WWII V-12's.
Really.
I like to clean up engines in my spare time:

One wheel landings:

Got a little exuberant (not a photoshop):

Hardware guys told me it was perfect:

96 MPH under the bridge, on the GPS:

Tucker's school tries to hire my kid:

To all the jealous haters, like those at TC,
that these pictures enrage:
