The view: The iconic Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Culture National Historic Park, New Mexico
The pilot: Lauren McGavran
The airplane: Remos GX
The mission: From Santa Fe, NM and back
The memory: A nice flight with a friend from WAY back, who recently earned her certificate at the same time that I did. Lots of big empty – better have planned the fuel right! Few roads, few people, no cell service.
Editor’s note: This is the latest installment in our weekly series called simply the “Friday Photo.” Each week we’ll share a great photo taken from the cockpit – one that shares the joy, beauty or fun of flying. If you’d like to join in, send your photo and description (using the format above) to: [email protected]
After becoming “happily unemployed” from her job working with computers at Los Alamos National Laboratory in my mid-50s, Lauren was able to indulge her lifelong, though never-seriously-considered, interest in becoming a pilot. She earned a Sport certificate in January 2014. She learned, and now rents an airplane, from New Mexico Sport Aviation in Santa Fe, NM, which currently has a Remos and a Tecnam available. With the 3rd Class Medical reform, a Private certificate is tempting. Married; one grown son; various Siberian husky rescues. Other interests include hiking, nature photography, and playing the flute.

- Friday Photo: Pueblo Bonito - September 16, 2016
This is a really good photo of Pueblo Bonito. I’ve made the flight several times and each time, either the light or my position weren’t right.
Good job.

Thank you. I got lucky, I guess!
