Flight from PT to Olympia to Shoreline to Arlington

Here are a few photos from one of our spontaneous mid-day flights ...

The majestic Olympic Mountains were so close I felt like I could reach out and touch them ....

It's so silent up there ... just the hum of the engine

 

 This was my first time flying over/past downtown Seattle in a small airplane ...

We cruised right over Ballard, towards Shoreline ...

 

As we passed over my old high school, I had to marvel at how I'd never imagined I'd be zoopin' over it 25 years later in a little experimental plane!

We passed right over my parent's house ... I really wished I had called them before the flight so they could keep an eye out ... one of these days!

We headed back towards home via Arlington. Mt. Baker stood gleaming white on the horizon.

This beautiful s-curve is just north of the Arlington Airport. 

And here we are again, nearly home as the sun starts to dip behind the mountains.

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!
