Today my friend flyingmonique had me meet him at the Arlington WA airport and we headed to the mountains! What a great day to fly as evidenced of the amount of traffic in the pattern. Once we were 5 minutes from the airport, we didnt see anyone! What a beautiful place to fly.
The mountains are as rugged as they get. Not many places to put it down if needed, but beautiful. Here are a few shots.

I have been taking lessons in a 172 and Archer. Both nice planes, but nothing like the fun of flying the 9A. I cant wait to get finished with mine!!
