Finally got 'round to putting together these pix from our flight to
Madeline Island in June. What a great place to visit -- and what a
fantastic use for an airplane!

I wish I could show these photos to every pilot-wannabee in the U.S.
GA would be growing by leaps and bounds, if we could figure out a way
to get this message across...

I live in great leaf country in north central PA, but I have to be
honest that after looking at leaves for 40+ years from the ground and 28
or so from the air, they look better from the ground. Up close is
better for leaves. If my purpose is really looking at leaves, then I
much prefer a motorcycle tour than an airplane trip. Unless you fly
really, really low, they colors blend and get dull as you get higher.
They really stand out when you can see the individual leaves and trees.

Just my opinion ... and several folks that I've taken up to see the
leaves. They enjoy the flight, but often comment that the leaves look
better from their car.
