It's so cool to go up at sunrise in the desert. My favorite is to get out before the sun and watch it come up over the horizon enroute to some remote dry lakebed or up into the Sierra before the bumps. jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CieloDiosa 0 #5 September 4, 2006 ooo i am so jealous, i flew an ultra light once and have always wanted to get a license in one do you fly planes too? ~boogie ho!! pull before impact!

We are flying up here in the high desert, near Lucern valley. This is a dry lakebed east of Apple Valley/Hesperia. No, I don't fly planes, just trikes. Interestingly though, it usually takes already trained pilots longer because the control movements are reversed that of an airplane. In a trike you push forward to go up, pull back to go down...like hangliding. Heres some more shots...Taxi, my instructor, and some air time. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
