John Day River

[neutrax]

Tom and I flew our M912's over to the John Day River to a strip called Chukar Flats strip. Nice flight great day and a really cool place to land but not a lot of usable strip. There was a metal box with a sign in pad pretty sure we were the only gyros on it. Great fun. When it gets too cold here I'm probably headed down to Arizona Pleasant Valley air strip/rv park with the gyro and check out the dirt there.

Looks like a fun place to land. Here's a video that shows the approach in more detail.

Hey Kevin it was 69 warm for the here and now.

Thanks Chris and congratulations on your amazing trip.

Skier: It is a blast sinking down onto approach for a new dirt/grass strip
I landed in the middle pretty nice but the ends are rruff.
I noticed things rattling pretty hard in the video you attached.

Hey Charley thanks It is a ton of fun. The new gyro is really up to the job.
