A Little Fly

Today the weather was really nice, with highs in the 50's and no wind. The wind item is what makes and breaks this state. Our wind is like the little girl with the little curl in the middle of her forehead... When she is good she is very very good and when she is bad, she is horrid.

With a beautiful day underway Ron and I decided to go for a little fly. I had wanted to go up with my camera and see the water that is starting to develop into quite a problem around these here parts. And Ron always is eager for me to go flying with him.

So we have some area flooding photos. The crest isn't until about Friday - after we have three days of rain showers now in the forecast.

Remember if you want to have a closer look, double click on the photo and it will fill your screen. Arrow back to return to blog. You can really see some detail when you do this.

Meet your flight crew:

Two places along Highway 52, near Velva










East of Velva where Carsten and his buddies were sandbagging.

We took off out of Pietsch Aircraft and Shawn Simpma, the local news guy, was going up with the flight instructor for aerial footage for the 6:00 news. So it was already captured. They were going west of Minot where it is really going crazy now. We are still in the preflood setup stage, east of Minot.

WOW. Spectacular views even though its looks kind of scary. I hope the best for you guys in the coming days. It will be 67 and sunny here, wish I could package it and send it.
