Default Over the Colorado Rockies

Picture taken coming back from Moab, Utah flying over the Colorado Rockies at 16,000 + ft. heading home to Oklahoma / Kansas. A good friend of mine invited me along for the ride in his -6 on this trip. I suggested to take my -6 but he refused so we burned his gas and oil. Yes we had Oxygen and head sets. Took the dang things off for a picture. Flying over the Rocky mountains is a must do!!!!!!

There REALLY isn't much room in an RV-4. Here I am flying over Lake Woodward north of Oakdale (O27)

Is your's actually a -9 or 9A? Just curious b/c I've kind of been keeping track of the relatively few -9s. Do you have an exterior pic? Looks like that was a pretty flight flying over all the little lakes.

Yes, it is a 9a. Here are a few more pics. The one with the lakes is an early morning flight over Lake Wedowee, AL. The one in the mountains is this fall over Brasstown Bald, GA (highest mountain..I mean hill in GA)

Thumbs up

Nice to see you're getting by until you have something exciting to fly...

Must be rough, oh, wait a minute, you're not even buying your own fuel!

In my mind, I look just like that when I'm flying my RV-4!

Thanks for your service!

Jeff

Hey Mark,

Are those things on the ends of the wings helpful when a Bonanza cuts you off in the pattern?
