Today was a perfect day for getting a nosebleed; playing between the clouds at 2000 ASL

I love this kind of weather. I once flew, when those little fluffies were at below 1500 ft, so in airspace G, which meant flying close to and around clouds was even legal. It was February. After about an hour I realized, that I couldn't feel my fingers any more. It was just so exhilarating.

I once decided to sit on top of a small cloud, then do a vertical descent thru it.... so I did.... when I popped out the bottom, I was absolutely drenched...
 I knew that clouds were water vapour, but more like simply suspended water how wet you get in them....     _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

Flying around the puffy clouds is very cool! I got to do some at Bensen Days.

Mike- That one picture of you in your Bensen above the clouds was a grand slam photo.

Hey Stan,
I even got to hover in the clouds yesterday?    It was pretty cool actually, got up to over 2000 feet and then just seemed to hang forever in one area |

Jeff- You post some cool pictures and you are having a lot of fun. Way to go....and yes..your pictures show you are indeed hovering. I can stare at them for a solid minute and your gyro did not move !

I have never flown high enough to get near a cloud.

Great pictures… Nice to see someone flying when it’s this hot out. I actually flew my MH1 yesterday, But it was so hot even at 7:30 I was wringing wet, But I had fun and the feeling of just being up there.. You just feel free of all the daily crap.

Yeah, I try to get out early enough before it gets too hot. Sunday was actuallya bit less sweltering than usual, even slightly cool at up in the clouds.  |

The last time I climbed up to that altitude it resulted in my first truly forced full down auto. I know the altitude had nothing to do with it. But I'm glad I was up there when it happened. This time of the year its hard for me to go out and sweat bullits in a glass cockpit thats 135 deg untill you can get up to that cooler altitude. But anytime you get to fly is a great time. |
