The view: A CAVU day at 17,000 feet over the Rockies
The pilot: Mark Fay
The airplane: Cessna TR182
The mission: Late June 2019 flight from Puelblo (KPUB) to North Las Vegas (KVGT).
The memory: I was flying with one eye watching for landing sites – the only way I fly the Rockies in a single engine piston. (It seems there is always someplace to go near the airways – hope I never have to prove it!) I managed to stop my ground scan long enough to take this picture. You can see the ski runs above Mountain Village in the distance. Beautiful place to live and fly.
