The first leg of my ferry flight was an amazing experience, taking the heli from Seattle to Crescent City, CA. Only got in 4.7 hours of solo flight before I lost light and had to land. I was in the mountains with the clouds, in scattered rain pockets, and over the coast. Take a look for yourself:
Here is my new $250,000 ride
I got forced into the valley instead of taking the coast because the clouds decided not to cooperate. Can't go through em, can't go over em, I guess we'll go around em!
I was very happy to finally see the coast. I was beginning to worry that I would have to take the I-5 route, which would have been much more difficult due to the weather.
Beautiful flying
To prove I was there:
Newport Oregon, looks like a good place to refuel!
Me and N39 Beggar Pilot
Sunset.
After the sun went down, the ground lights I were expecting to lead my way down the coast decided not to exist, so I had to land rather than lose all reference to the horizon. It was a fun, challenging and interesting day. Hope the weather stays decent for tomorrow.
That is some funny shiz man.....jwm
