Only my second flight this year, but beautiful evening sunlight; the first time in weeks we've had VMC here.

Wing view out of a light aircraft, a river and canal, open fields and villages, a power station in the warm evening sunlight, blue skies with a few clouds near the horizon and a light haze.

Wing view out of a light aircraft in a slight bank. Orderly settlements and part of a canal with the old and new locks in Minden, Westphalia, the water looks green in a warm evening sunlight.

The dashboard and look out of the front of a light aircraft with a modern electronic flight instrument system consisting of multiple colour screens and button panels. Parts of the steering yokes and sun visors are visible.

Look out of a light aircraft with parts of the wing in view. A group of small turquoise/blue lakes, partly covered with floating ice. A small range of hills in the background under a blue sky with light clouds near the horizon, lit orange from a warm evening sun. The airfield is visible at the right edge of the frame.

Gorgeous night to get night current again. Flying at night is so pretty and smooth. The photos don't turn out well in the low light though so here I'm about to tuck the baby into bed.

"Trim the aircraft for best gliding angle and look for a suitable field. " These are the first two instructions you will find in the operating handbook for almost any aircraft in regards to power loss. But I've always wondered: How often will you find yourself without a suitable field?

I decided to combine several GIS datasets to see if I could come up with an answer to that question, and perhaps create a useful flight planning tool along the way.

I am sooooo happy that the weather today (after a long period of fog) has allowed us to fly again!

It is a beautiful day to fly here in Wisconsin. I had to pick up a radio and instead of driving for four hours I flew for two.

Oh, an airport 32nm away is doing a coffee and donuts thing this morning at 9am. Maybe I should go since I'm awake.

(checks weather)

It will be -7F (-21.6C)? Nevermind!

This image shows a twin-engine piston aircraft parked on a runway or ramp at night. The airplane is photographed from a front-left three-quarter angle, emphasizing its rounded nose, cockpit windows, and two spinning propellers, which appear slightly blurred. The aircraft is painted light blue and white with thin accent stripes along the fuselage. Its landing gear is extended, and red navigation and beacon lights glow beneath the fuselage and on the tail, casting small reflections on the pavement. The background is completely dark, with no visible buildings or horizon, isolating the aircraft against the night sky and drawing attention to its form and lighting.

Had a quick flight this morning to JVL for brunch. Decided to do it as I woke up and figured we had good enough weather to make it quick. About an hour after landing back at MSN the snow started lol.

First flight of the year. Spur-of-the-moment in the wonderful weather on Saturday, made some landings to maintain currency and did some aerial photography again. The Piper's little window works quite well for that.
Our Piper Archer III, the Weser and Wiehen hills, a kids' theme park with an actual historic aircraft (Nord Aviation #Noratlas) and our airfield (#EDVY).

A white-and blue single-engine light aircraft with a sleek nose and open door sits on the tarmac. Hangars in the background, and blue sky with white stippled clouds.

Aerial photo of forested hills in the haze, a monument and TV tower are on the tops, settlements are visible on the left, under a hazy sky.

Top view of a theme park with roller-coasters and other attractions, a historic twin-boom twin-engine transport aircraft sits next to one roller-coaster.

Birds-eye view of an airfield with a paved runway, some small planes taxiing, and a couple of hangars. Fields in the foreground, and an industrial site and some small villages in the background.

A bright sport plane at Longmont Airport, with the foothills rising just beyond the runway. I imagine the fun this pilot is about to have, soaring above the foothills.

If you enjoy moments like this, sharing helps.

A black-and-white postcard showing an elevated view of the Lancaster Municipal Airport terminal and hangar complex. The main hangar bears the large sign “Lancaster Municipal Airport,” with a control tower rising from the terminal building. The surrounding landscape appears largely open and undeveloped, emphasizing the airport’s early setting.

A black-and-white postcard showing a ground-level, angled view of the Lancaster Municipal Airport hangar and terminal. The hangar doors are open, and the control tower rises prominently above the complex. The image highlights the modern design and scale of the airport for its time.

A color linen postcard depicting the Lancaster Municipal Airport terminal and hangar with several small aircraft parked on the apron. The red-brick buildings, glass-block windows, and tower are clearly visible, set against green grass and a blue sky. The scene emphasizes the airport as an active civic facility.

A black-and-white postcard with a scalloped edge showing a frontal view of the Lancaster Municipal Airport hangar and terminal. “Lancaster Municipal Airport” is printed across the hangar facade, with the tower visible to the left and landscaped grounds in front. The composition presents the airport as a formal civic landmark.
