It was quite cold and less humid. Lower-mid 60s I think (11.5c). Ground was mid 80s. With wind chill (you're sitting in 25mph) it can get bad without a wind breaker and sweater haha.
This is both beautiful and terrifying.
Amazing stuff
Wow this is like riding dragons you are a god damn Targaryen
Lol, it's just a glorified weed whacker strapped to my back. Cheapest form of aviation! ;)
Weed yes that thing is a form of aviation cheapest, no license required
Can you maintain VFR with that broken layer?
Well yeah! Otherwise, it would be illegal
What part of the country you flying in? Out here itβs all boring plains and mega airports, so I donβt really have an opportunity to do something like this. Do you carry a transponder and radio?
Wisconsin. No transponder, radio very very rarely (flying at airport).
Lots of the US airspace is uncontrolled, itβs pretty great!
Great view ot the sun setting!
Thanks! Happy cake day!
Oh, thanks!
Nice to see the tradition is still alive.
