Here I am returning from my Alaskan journey enjoying good weather and different scenery. The plan of the day was to fly over some highly industrialized country in the Dakotas and by several well known monuments in Wyoming. In the plan was also included a brief visit with my good buddy Glen Sterling who lives a very interesting life in Hulett, WY. I planned to end my long flying day somewhere in ND with a prearranged pilot lounge...
Typical local landscape. A yellow river.
Monstrous open coal mines.
The longest train I've ever seen. It folds in two and loops around.
Crazy Horse Monument.
Mount Rushmore.
There is a procedure for scenic overflying of those monuments. There is a separate frequency and recommended altitude. If you are not familiar ask Ellsworth Approach and they would gladly explain it to you time permitting.
Devils Tower.
I landed at Hulett airport in Wyoming to say hi to Glen Sterling and get some gas. First I met Glen two years ago and we went for a ride in my RV over the red rocks.
You are going nowhere he said. It's getting late why don't we pick up my wife Connie and go for dinner by Devils Tower... then you stay with us...
