While Andy was working on the various mods for his AirBike, I went flying for an hour. We had a brief break in the weather with lowered winds that just begged to be flown in. Although I hadn't planned to fly that Saturday, one call to the Mid-Continent Airport ASOS was the trigger to change my mind.
Below are a couple of photos of that flight; all of our snow has melted and the runoff is finding its way into the Arkansas River. Some wheat fields are beginning to display green new-growth stubble. It won't be long and the ground cover will become attractive again.
One advantage of the low wind is that I can find my way back to the Selby Aerodrome by following the smoke trail I lay down on the outbound trip! Sunsets from 1000' AGL are always nice even if on this flight there were no clouds to catch the reflected light, only a huge fireball settling over the horizon.
