Today I decided to go out on solo mode, and do a flight I have done many times, a nice little look in the mountains east of Seattle, starting off in Ranger creek.
Wheels up from Ranger creek!
And coming back down on a small grass strip
Back up, but holy cow, those winds. Pushing me and the X-Cub to the limit
On my way back down, wack sideways on another grass strip
Lifting back out of it over a lake
These views low key need to chill out
One final landing
I think that’s enough for today, you?
Very cool :D
That’s hot 🥵
I’m sure those 2 knot crosswinds were tough 😂
Try 12, they were, crosswinds aren’t my specialty, but I’m out there to learn, if everything went well I’m better now than when I started the flight…
I know, I’ve never flown the X-Cub but I know that it’s highly susceptible to crosswinds so any breeze at all will blow it off course
Yea, all ads to the fun though, the more difficult, the better… 😉
Boy do I love that plane
Whoah this is heavy
That wonderful paint job for the 'Cub as well :-)
My second favorite XCub livery! Looks really great, love taking this plane around mountains and in the Bush.
Nice pictures, happy birthday
Very good! I love the XCub. Happy birthday!!
Thank you very much @Pinecone, and @anon9524891! 🥳
Thanks for checking out Seattle. These pretty much are where I go camping!
Lovely shots of the XCubby mate. I always love good little mountainous flight.
I just realized it’s your birthday, so happy birthday! Have a great day! 🥳🎉
Just realized how small and skinny that runway you landed on is. The numbers don’t fit!
I literally thought this was some kind of story, but still, very cool!
