Friday Photo: Colorado colors

The view: Departing to the north out of Pagosa Springs, PSO, looking northwest as we started up Wolf Creek Pass

The pilot: Jim Densmore and Joe Brundage

The airplane: Jim’s 1956 Cessna 180, N6555A

The mission: Returning to home base in Colorado Springs, CO, from the October 2016 AOPA fly-in at Prescott (PRC), AZ.

The memory: I was surprised and very pleased at how much fun we had at the AOPA fly-in. AOPA and EAA are collaborating together to improve GA as they never have before, and we found this very gratifying. To top it off, we had a beautiful flight home, as this image with bright aspens attests to.

Editor’s note: This is the latest installment in our weekly series called simply the “Friday Photo.” Each week we post 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]

Jim Densmore

Jim Densmore is an SEL and glider pilot, Cessna 180/185 (Type) Club Regional Director and Chief Tow Pilot for High Flights Soaring from Colorado Springs, Colorado. To support his flying habit, he is a software engineering consultant and Principal Agile coach for his day job. He is happily married to Linda, the half-owner of his 1956 Cessna 180. His parents bought his 180 in 1960, so Jim pretty much grew up in the airplane. Jim hopes to be ADS-B-equipped some day.
