Its been a while since I took some time to take some personal shots while flying (instead of work related shots). The plan was to fly from 0S9 to S43, but from the series of shots you'll see the outcome. Lined Up....accomplishing final checks Climbing out....flaps out a bit longer to help clear the tree line. Beautiful shimmer of the SUN off of the water. We appear to be having some flap retraction issues...returning to the field Turning Base for final....Gear Down. Unable to retract the flaps, but I was able to initiate full flaps....condition levers MAX Lining Up...with a bit of a stiff wind from the NW at about 15 knots Close up on short final...(I am still mesmerized by the attention to detail of this aircraft)smileys/smiley3.gif" align="middle Enjoy
