Sunny August Saturday at 1WA6 Fall City Airport

[HardCub]

Saturday, August 25, 2012

The weather was absolutely fabulous on Saturday in Fall City, Washington. The sunshine was beaming down on everything, the leaves were gently blowing in the soft breezes and life was good. A bright yellow Cessna 172N Skyhawk was available for hire, and I wanted to experience the area from the air... so away I went for an early afternoon flight around the Fall City area.

They really need to cut the grass near the runway... the weeds are a little high in places.

Ah, there is my airplane again... I thought I lost it for a moment, but that would be crazy!
How could you lose this airplane, right? LOL

Just taxiing past the tall weeds as I head towards the end of the runway.

The countryside is so beautiful here, and I had the window open to enjoy the summer breezes.

It's a tight turn in the Skyhawk... it took me 2 tries to get it right.

Pushing the throttle to the wall as the plane begins to roll...

A truly beautiful mid-afternoon take-off.

The picturesque Snoqualmie Falls is visible in the background as the airplane climbs above the crowded houses of the neighborhoods on the ridge opposite the small private airport.

One thing's for dead certain... you can't lose this particular airplane very easily in the air.

Just cruisin' around the area enjoying the scenery below.

Doing some steep turns high over the mountainous ridges near the valley.


Thanks for viewing the pictures. ~Glenn

John, Fabio, Alex, Peter and Mario... Thank you very much for the nice comments my friends.

Fabio, it would make a great place for a picnic. I'd like to visit that particular waterfall if I ever get a chance to travel to Washington state. It looks amazing!

Great shots Glenn, the scenery looks just stunning there! Nice livery on that 172 as well, resembles a bee somewhat.

Thank you very much Leo and Jan for the comments.
Yes Leo, it reminds me of a big Bumble Bee too. Haha! I wondered who else would say that. It's not my favorite paint scheme, but I figured for a sunny afternoon, why not?
