Flying, Mountains and Jumpers

 

I hadn't had my MXS-R out for quite a while so I loaded it into the motor home yesterday.  It flies just as good as I remember.  It was overcast to start the day but then it cleared off and was really nice.

I was taking a picture of Mt St Helens when I noticed Jim's little jet coming and ended up getting a good picture of it.  There was a small turn out today, just six of us flying.

Mt Rainier was showing up very nicely today.

The jump plane was really busy today.  We were debating about if they were going up with the door open.  In this picture I took just before we left it looks like there is a transparent roll up door of some kind. 

There were lots of tandem jumps today.

I got a little close to the grass at the end of the runway on my last landing today and picked up a souvenir.  No damage but I had to take it around and show everyone.  My goal today was to leave about two before it got too hot.  I did pretty good as we headed home about two thirty.
