Down safe in Kalispell (S27). Pretty smooth flight, but for some reason my banker friend says he will "never, ever fly in a small plane again." Looks like I have to wait for his replacement.

[paiken]

Down safely in Jackson Hole. Crazy flight...had to wait for the snow to clear out, then scud running out of Bozeman until nearly to Yellowstone. Caught a quick glimpse of Old Faithful spouting off, but it ended before the banker could get the camera pointed. Then had to briefly (25 seconds or so) bust the soft ceiling to clear terrain approaching Jackson Hole. Duenna shows max altitude of 10078 ft.
Flight distance 130.9 nm
