Chasing the Sun in the Caravan!

I took this photo of the sun going down while ferrying a Caravan from Illinois to Colorado.  I was flying over Iowa at 8,500 feet at the time.  Had to fight a headwind the entire 5 hour flight.

But the aircraft was successfully delivered! Another happy customer in the books! #pilotperks

DC-3 sunset fly by!

A cool photo of a DC3 sunset fly by at Skydive Arizona.  The largest drop zone in the world and the only one that I'm aware of that flies the classic DC3.  You can also see their wind tunnel in the background. Taken at Eloy, Arizona USA

Caravan at Sunset in Lompoc CA

Here I am sitting in the jump door of the Caravan.  Relaxing after a long day of flying skydivers in Lompoc, CA @ Skydive Santa Barbara.  I had always heard that the Caravan flys like a C172 on steroids and it is absolutely true. And it's easier to fly than any turbo 206 that I've flown. There is less to do and less to worry about while flying a turbine powered Caravan.
