Almost Done... Flying That Is.

Well my flying is about to come to a close.  Tomorrow and Monday for sure...   Possibly Tuesday as well.  Then I take over as the Base Manager here.  Hopefully everything goes smoothly with that, it'll be my first gig at it.  We'll see what happens I guess.  Shouldn't be too difficult.

Winter is definitely setting in up in the higher elevations, as you'll see in the photos below.  Thankfully nothing on the ground as yet, and let's hope it stays that way at least until I'm done flying!  Then it's someone elses problem... Sorry guys  ;)

Here's the pictures!  Enjoy!
