Unfortunately, work has gotten crazy, so I need to spend the night working -- no camping for me. But Redtail and Yellowtail were flying up to Lake Isabella for fishing and lunch, so I still wanted to head up there for the afternoon and meet them up there. Here's a shot around Tehachapi, looking north. It got pretty bumpy here.
I met Tom and John up there, and we walked down to the Kern River (just north of where it dumps into Lake Isabella). It was gorgeous. Wish I could have spent more time up there. I hadn't flown the RV up here yet -- the last time I was here was in the Mooney, when I met that guy with the SeaRey and Kitfox, who ended up convincing me to build my own plane. This place has a pretty personal appeal to me for obvious reasons.
I brought the fishing gear but didn't have time to do any. Next time...
We flew back to Chino as a flight of three. We did rolls to give each other an enroute airshow. Good time! Wish I had some photos or video, but hey...I had my hands full trying keep the plane from going straight and level...hehhhe...
