I wasn't planning on flying today, but David coaxed me out. It was very cold and very windy, but the sky was blue and visibility was excellent!
Dave and I flew, and Felix and Andy showed up. Felix fitted floats on his Dynam Cessna 310 twin, and it flew beautifully!
We flew for a couple hours, and it was fun; lots of touch-n-goes on the snow.
More photos from Andy.
Flying yesterday (and today) was invigorating!
The cold, the wind, the snow and the blue sky was just so much fun!

Here's some video I took of Glen's CL215 from my quad. This was only my 4th flight with an FPV quad in Acro mode, so it's not smooth. But I don't think it's too bad.....

Great footage, Simon! Is that with your new little quad?
Fantastic, Simon... so steady... nice job of staying with him. That CL415 looks great.
Great video
@sihinch . This is too tempting. Great resolution and flight following.

Yes, it's a 4" toothpick style quad with a Caddx Vista. Very easy to fly.
"Full-scale bombers overhead!" :D
Andy,
re: full-size squadron overhead
How was the bomb-drop accuracy? ;D

Hey
@Frank v B It was "spot on"! Those guys are good! Between the prop scars in the fabric, and the turd density of 2.5 lineal inches per square foot, using the runway offers an exciting running of the gauntlet!! :)

Flying on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2020. Winds were very light from the north and the sky was blue. It was a bit cold (about -6) but nice enough for about 3 or flights each.
David, Glenn, Rob, Andy, Jim and me.

Beautiful positioning at 0:56 to 0:58.
Way to go Simon!

David and I took time out of our busy Christmas day schedule, to fly from the fresh snow at TEMAC.
It wasn't so cold; it wasn't so windy, and the snow was fresh and smooth. The sky was very grey which made it a bit difficult to see the planes at certain angles, but otherwise, we each flew 3 times with nice takeoffs and nice landings.
David took a shot of my FMS Beaver on floats just before taking off.
It was fun!
Good flying today. Skies a little gray, wind ok at 1 to 2... probably 10k out of the south/southeast... picking up a bit as the afternoon sped on. Good to see everyone out.
