About a week and a half ago, Les was invited to go for a plane ride with his friend Rudi, from work who needed to get some cross country fly time in on his plane. They went to Weiser and Ontario. Here's a few pictures from there flight.
This was the little 4 seater plane they took.
Looking out the front of the plane to the Boise airport. I particularly like the sign from the Ponderosa Aero Club posted right in front of Les... ;)
The runway as they were taking off.
The Flying Wye (where I84 and I184 meet)right in the middle of the window.
These two pictures show the intersection of Ustick & Maple Grove. Not one we frequent much & it took a bit to figure this out, but there is a Church there that I did my preschool practicum in while at BSU and also where the girls & I helped out with Vacation Bible School a few years. Kind of neat to check things out from this angle (from the safety of my stamp room!)
Les was trying to get a shot of Bogus - I think it's on the right side of the picture.
The Emmett Highway
A little closer to Emmett - the airport is about in the middle of the picture.
The top left of this picture is a dairy farm near Ron & Judy's. He was trying to find their house, but they were past it before he realized it.
This was coming into Weiser. (You can see a video of the landing on my facebook page)
Just a neat home on the river.
Rudi and a cool crop duster they saw in Weiser.
Coming into Ontario.
A second shot at New Plymouth on the way home. Still not close enough to get a good shot, but Ron & Judy's is out there somewhere!
A different view of the Flying Wye. This one is taken as they were coming back into the airport and looking west.
