Up on Mt. Pinos this morning - kind of a lame composition but I liked the holes and textures on the stump.

Of course sledding and snowball fights were the main reason for the day trip. Conditions were quite good but it started getting windy.

That rusted out old truck pic is really cool, Dave.

First day flying in my very own plane.... Yippee!

I owe an awful lot to my plane partner, Mike; seen above in white Tshirt.
I'm now studying for my pilots license; about 10% through. :)

Good Luck with your goal Tim!

I took this last week.
Evening sun, Liberation Tower, and the usual dust haze.

One of the squadrons at work had their family day on Saturday. Pretty much a thankyou to the families of squadron personnel for putting up with crazy work schedules and deployments.

We got to fly in the 757 at 1500ft at 250 knots out over the North Shore, Rangitoto, Waiheke, Great Barrier islands and the northern end of the coromandel peninsula. When we came back in we did a missed approach, did another circuit of the airfield and then landed properly.

I took mainly video from the 757 so nothing much to post here:

For the herc, we took off and headed over the shore out towards Rangitoto island. As soon as we leveled out the loadmasters dropped the ramp at the back so we could all take pictures. This was a pretty sweet deal!

We flew around Rangitoto a few timed before coming back in towards the CBD from Mission Bay and did a lap of the Skytower before coming back in to land.
