Like seeing an old friend.

All 3 of us flew on B-29 Doc Tuesday evening!!  Words cannot describe this experience.  Here are some photos.

Finished!

I've been woking on this F-16 off and on for the better part of 2 months.  This color scheme goes back to the YF-16 in 1974 and the "Viper Demo Team" chose to paint their jet in this combination in honor of the 50th anniversary of the F-16.

This was a fun one to paint!

An afternoon at Snowbird.

It had been 10(!) years since we visited Snowbird resort.  Skyler was only 3 last time and he didn't remember much of it.  This time, he was highly engaged!  What a great afternoon!

(Blogger just updated their software, now there is no way to upload pics in order, sigh...)

New restaurant at 11,000 feet.









Tram cars were replaced a few years ago.

Tram ticket prices are now nearly $50 per person.


$9.00 slice of pizza at the top.  

Lovely Friday afternoon at the terrace.

Looking down toward Cliff Lodge.

Valley view.

New tram drive motor!  Old one was 1,750 HP, new one looks to be 2,000 HP from what info I can find.

New drive wheels now with a hydrostatic drive emergency backup capability.
