Another fun trip to Bend! Its a cold winter day, but is it clear and we head to Bend for the weekend. We head out a little later than we want, but are still planning to land before sunset. We spend the weekend visiting Gramie on the farm, Skiing at

2018-11 KSEZ (Sedona, AZ)

Its time for Thanksgiving and the weather has given us the opportunity to fly. We didn’t have any plans, but the weather has invited us to go south to visit family. Papa Pilot and The Little Dude start the adventure in the Bonanza a few days before Mama Pilot and

2018-11 W04 (Ocean Shores, WA)

It’s November,  it’s Sunday and its sunny. This has to be the mildest winter we have seen in the Seattle area in years.  In even more rare form is the Washington Coast is also clear today. There is only one thing to do: Go to the Beach. It’s taken me

2018-07: 66S (Cavanaugh Bay, ID)

What a trip! We just returned from our first family camping trip and in true A Plane Family style, we flew there. Monitoring aviation forms, one location came across the websites frequently, Cavanaugh Bay, Idaho. There is good reason this is a highly praised spot with families who come back

2018-07 WA09 (Roche Harbor, WA)

SUMMER!  Being a girl, raised in Florida it’s funny how differently I think about summer in the PNW.  I have lived in Washington State for 5 years and its just now hitting me. The dread of winter, the lack of flying the bonanza for months, longing for  a blue bird
