So you think your K3 got special treatment?

It would take a lot less than that to get Eric out of
the "office" and into the escape machine (Cessna). I'd venture to say that if the company aircraft could fly above the weather, he'd meet you at Cook just to practice his IFR. Co-Pilot would be Lerma. ;-) Lerma must also be an expert photographer, how'd she get that first photo while in the aircraft? [Elecraft] So you think your K3 got special treatment?

The in-flight photo was taken by a pilot friend and professional
photographer, Dan Dawson, while we flew formation from Watsonville up to Half Moon Bay for lunch on Sunday, Dec 30th. (He was a passenger in the other plane.) A friend wanted pics of his plane, a recently refurbished 1970's Cessna 172, so I was the photo plane on the way up. After a free lunch from him, Dan moved to the 172 plane and they took pics of me on the way back home. See http://flickr.com/photos/dandawson/tags/airtoair/ for the complete picture set of both planes. If you look carefully at the high resolution versions, you can see me peering back at the other plane to maintain spacing. And to answer another frequent question - No, I do not make HF QSOs while in flight as PIC :-) (But when Lerma is PIC I might sneak in one or two VHF QSO's. No HF in the plane yet..) 73, Eric WA6HHQ ---- Don Rasmussen wrote: > It would take a lot less than that to get Eric out of > the "office" and into the escape machine (Cessna).

Eric,
Your Cessna looks pretty new. Can you share some details on its vintage and options? Fellow Cessna lovers would like to know these details... 73, Doug -- K0DXV Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft wrote: > The in-flight photo was taken by a pilot friend and professional > photographer, Dan Dawson, while we flew formation from Watsonville up > to Half Moon Bay for lunch on Sunday, Dec 30th.

In reply to this post by Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ
Eric,
That sure looks like a *182*, beautiful job on the refurbishing. Thanks for sharing the photos. By the way, I've been thinking ever since I first looked at Elecraft website, your logo, the "lazy E", looks a lot like the control wheel on one of those. Could there be a connection? 73, Sam KL7V ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft" <[hidden email]> To: "Don Rasmussen" <[hidden email]> Cc: <[hidden email]> Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 11:11 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] So you think your K3 got special treatment? > The in-flight photo was taken by a pilot friend and professional > photographer, Dan Dawson, while we flew formation from Watsonville up to > Half Moon Bay for lunch on Sunday, Dec 30th.

My plane, N914JB, is a 2000 182S. I bought it with about 600 Hrs on the
engine. The other one one the flickr page, N733BG, is a refurbished 1976 172N. 73, Eric --- Sam Binkley wrote: > Eric, > That sure looks like a *182*, beautiful job on the refurbishing. > Thanks for sharing the photos. > By the way, I've been thinking ever since I first looked at Elecraft > website, your logo, the "lazy E", looks a lot like the control wheel > on one of those.

If you have or get a K3, you don't need to learn to fly !
