My WWW diver made it to 2000m today.

Went for a little flight today. Kind of cruddy high overcast but not too bad for Oregon in February. Never one to let bad conditions or lack of skills stop me-I took a few pics anyway. So looking through them I noticed my WWW 2000m diver had survived at 2000 meters or so above sea level.



Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams



Ship traffic on the Columbia River

cool watch and amazing pictures! Thanks for sharing them.

. . . man, you just made me really home-sick Mark!!! I miss the Columbia . . . .

I've flown into Portland several times, always loved that view.

Very nice shots while keeping the other hand on the yolk.

Whoa Mark THAT is cool ! Beautiful shots you took there !!!
It's awesome that you know how to fly. Congratulations on
that, as well as living in such a great area ! By the way, the
blue dial on your watch is really something else ! So are
Mt. ST. Helens and Mt. Adams ! Excellent pictures once again !
Thanks for showing them to us !

A great day to be flying Mark! nice shots of the cascades and Columbia.

Very Cool pics Mark...thanks for posting them.

Very well done! Excellent pics too!

Cool Pics for sure

Straight and level while shooting shots.

Very cool, love seeing the plane dashboard!

Quick pics, not even looking in the view finder. To open the side window and actually look through the view finder takes too much attention. Do that and your inner ear starts telling you the plane is about to enter a steep uncommanded bank. Can't really take any good pics unless I fly with another pilot who can take the controls.

Very cool pictures Mark!!!

...or with someone shooting with your camera...

I like the way you're doing it Mark.

Must feel amazing to be able to fly, be in control...

...I suspect LANDING can be quite a rush too.

Most of the people I've taken flying are scared to death to open the side windows to take clear pictures even after I've shown them how to do it in the preflight. Ask most of them to hold the yoke so I can take a pic or two without entering a steep bank and they'll have nothing to do with it. Alan, landing is'nt that hard but it's the single most important skill.
