Orcas Island - Bowerman

Down safe at Bowerman.

Pretty much clear weather, with just a few clouds in the passes.

However, these flights are instructive, and may be a money-and skin-saver if ever I'd consider getting a PPL.
I dare not admit it, but who sees what's wrong on the landing picture... :redf:

But nothing a few affectionate taps with a sledgehammer wouldn't fix. And a green Duenna is a good Duenna.

Flight time: 00:36:05

Haha !!
Take-off was completely fogged in, but I was counting on it to clear up enroute.
But when the clouds finally parted what I did see didn't match the map ... at all.
High mountains all around ???
When big water appeared ahead it finally dawned on me... I had taken off from Bowerman, as per the saved situation, not from Hood River. :monkies:
Taking off again... from the right airport this time.
 
Down safe at Jackson Hole.
Mount Blackmore in thick clouds, just where I didn't need it. A few moments with beating heart until passing the ridge, hugging the 10k ceiling. Then visibility got much better. Phew.
Nice sightseeing flight, with Yellowstone and the Tetons lined up.
