Flying, Blackhawks and a Sunset

 

We went flying at Toledo today.  I had a great time shooting touch and goes with the Skylane and Vortex.

I test flew Joel's Spacewalker for him, it flew great and once it was trimmed I passed the transmitter to him.  Joel flew it a few minutes and handed the transmitter back to me, right after I took it the plane dove towards the ground.  I gave full up elevator and throttled down but nothing changed and the engine was still running full bore when it hit the ground.  It appears the switch for the receiver failed.
Mt St Helens sure doesn't have much snow left on it.
Mt Rainier has plenty of snow.
As I was loading up two Army Blackhawks made a touch and go at the Toledo airport.
They turned South as they left so I got a pretty good shot of the crew.
When we got home the sunset was kind of pretty through the maple trees.
