List,



I did a lot of flying on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Took off early and got home late. I took this photo of the Fred Hartman bridge which crosses the Houston Ship Channel. It's not huge or famous in the world of bridges, but I like it. Sorry for the too-big file size on the photo. 



HKS continues to perform well, turned 100 hrs on it recently.

Very nice, Jimmy!  For those who don't live in the area, off in the distance is the San Jacinto Monument, which commemorates the site of the Battle of San Jacinto, the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution.  It's even taller than the Washington Monument, topped by a big Texas star!

A most excellent photo. This is what I like about this list. We may differ 

on how to build or even fly our Kolb's , but we can not disagree that the 

places they take us to or the things we see from them have no equal . From 

one side of the world to the other Kolbs are veiwing the best there is to 

see on this planet .

Fly safe

Great pic, and a great bridge -- famous or not. Good job!

But your pix would be MUCH better if you used a polarizing filter.  

Try it -- or at least shoot thru one lens of polarized sunglasses as  

a test. Won't be sharp but you can  see what it does.

Great photo!  Where do you fly out of?  I'm headed to Houston this weekend 

for cancer treatment and in my spare time I'd like to check out an airport 

or two.  I have just bought a Kolb Firestar KXP, but haven't flown it yet 

(too sick with Chemo).

Hi Jim,

Good to hear that you are getting a lot of flight time . We are in Los Lunas , New Mexico I am flying every day.We were fortunate

enough to get a house with an attached hanger that is about 50 yards from the taxiway.Sure is different here , the density alt so far is 

from 5000 to 9000 ft.depending on the time of day.Until I get really used to that I don't intend to fly when it's any hotter.Afterwards 

(we'll see) Takeoff rolls are long and landing speeds are high at 9000 ft. DA, also can't climb much over 150 ft. a minute --a guess--

I haven't been far enough to get a good handle on the rate of climb. So far I haven't been over 10 miles from the home air port.

  Have a good summer and I will see you  in the fall.

Frank

Gene,

I hanger at a country grass strip airport called Bailes Field (7R9) about 30 miles due south of Houston. I'd be glad to show you around this weekend while you are in town. Give me a call at 832.309.1730 or email me and we can figure out the details.



To everyone else, I'm glad so many liked the photo. I'm sure I could take better ones with the right lenses and filters, but advanced photography is  really not something I'm interested in at all. I just point & shoot & occasionally I get lucky. It is a great way to share with others what we get to see from our Kolbs.
