Fran Marlatt celebrated her 100th birthday on Halloween day. We were together for Thanksgiving and as I was saying farewell I asked her if she was ready to go for a flight and she said sure, without hesitation. She requested that we fly up around the Catalina Mountains, so that's where we went. She had no problems getting in or out of the plane, which I was happy to see. She really enjoyed the ...
Lake Powell and Monument Valley - Oct 27, 24

After overnighting in Page, I lifted off at 8:15am and flew east over Lake Powell to Monument Valley before heading south to Tucson, with a planned fuel stop in Winslow. I had 24-26 knot headwinds the whole way home, so it was slower than normal and turbulent at times, but not bad. As I got further south it was very smokey from wildfires. I landed at La Cholla Airpark at 11:30am with temperatur...

Thanks for sharing! The Chirachahu area is fascinating.
That brings back memories.thank you
I was born and raised in morenci. I worked for Phelps -Dodge . My dad worked there for 30 yrs as a train engineer. Great memories 😊
Drove all around that area. So cool to see it from the air. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice,thank you. Happy new year
@@johncrooks8979 thanks and Happy New Year to you!! 🥳
What a beautiful birthday present. Jim, I hope you can take me for a ride like that when I turn 100. It will be good exercise for both of us.
Emanuel, you've got a deal! 😂 The good exercise would be getting in and out of the plane for both of us at that age. Fran made it look too easy!
Beautiful!
Jim, Is There in Aero Club on Davis Monthan airbase where civilians can rent a small plane and pilot to take them up? I used to do this on Kirtland AFB but do not know the protocol here. Would like to show a couple relatives around the area.
Hi Jonathan, unfortunately it doesn't appear there is an aero club at DM or anywhere else in AZ.... myairforcelife.com/aero-club-directory/ NM, CA and CO have some, but not AZ. Marana airport has rental planes... there may be others that I'm not aware of. Sorry about that.
Thank you for making her birthday so special for her. You truly are an angel!!
Thanks. I'm no angel, but I do have wings that let me fly high and it made her very happy. 👍
Lucky her, thoughtful you, great flight. Thank you for posting!
Happy Birthday Fran. I enjoyed the flight too. I have to ask a question though, why does it look like the propeller is turning slowly or isn't turning at all? It makes me nervous.
@dhall7570 that is caused by the camera taking 30 shots per second, so as the rpms change the propeller speed appears to slow down or it even can turn backwards, but don't worry, the engine is running fine. It is most noticeable when I reduce power when gliding or when landing at idle settings.
@@jimhefner Thank you for the explanation!
@@dhall7570 you're welcome. That's a common question since it looks so odd. 😊
Very nice. I also enjoyed the flight,thank you.
@johncrooks8979 Thanks John. It was fun on a perfect day for it. 👍
This is a beautiful video! Thank you very much for sharing your videos, I enjoy them very much!!
@DesertWings thanks much! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. 🙏
Your videos are amazing. What a wonderful gift to be able to fly and record as you do. I'm jealous!
@bonbanjovee thanks Bonnie. I make these videos so I can relive the fun and amazing places I've seen after I'm no longer flying. Editing the videos take much longer than the flights, but I enjoy it. The GoPro cameras do a great job out on each wingtip, controlled by the GoPro app on my phone. 👌
Thank you! I have a few of your videos to catch up on. They are amazing!
@deb9789 thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Now that it has cooled down some, I've been able to make a few fun trips recently. 👍
Thanks lots! So interesting!!!
What a beautiful video to start the day! Thank you sir
Thanks 🙏 Have a great day. 👍
Beautiful! Love seeing you too !❤!
Thank you! 🤗
❤!
W❤️W !
Wow Jim Great footage. Enjoying your longer videos. I could sit through 30 minutes of this.
Thanks much for your feedback Stephen. 🙏 Glad you enjoyed the longer video. 👍 Longer videos don't get watched much, but that's ok. When I'm done flying, these videos will help me remember how much fun I had. 👌 This trip took 2 items off my bucket list. It was great flying through Death Valley and Yosemite... 🥳
Beautiful! Thanks!! ❤
Beautiful scenery! Your first image of Half Dome includes a good view of Cloud’s Rest, the sharp ridge well before Half Dome. It has a great view of the valley and the dome. I hiked it while completing the 220 mile John Muir trail.
@erickinder thanks. That part of the Sierra Nevada range really stands out from the rest from the air. I can see why John Muir loved it so much. Hiking that trail had to be an amazing experience and very challenging. I'll look for Clouds Rest in the video. 👌
Thanks for taking us With you ✌️
Thanks from old New Mexico wannabe pilot! Too old to learn now, and don’t trust my vision anymore (used to be awesome). Piñon-juniper woodlands are one of my favorite environments!
You have captured a really great video. 👍
@@시커먼선생Mr.Blackman thank you very much. 🙏 I'm happy you enjoyed this video. Welcome to my channel. 👍
Amazing! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Very nice, thank you.
Thanks !
Great video!
@@BO-dc4xg thanks Bryan 🙏 It was a fun flight. 👌
Nice flight. Take Jen and I. Little longer when we drive that trip in couple weeks🤪
That Music 🤣🤦♂️
I thought there was a no fly zone around Kitt Peak.
@marksee4008 No, there are no flight restrictions around Kitt Peak, but I don't fly right over it, I just pass by it. 👍
I've driven by it 1000 times. I would be humbled to add to that landscape.
Beautiful flight, thank you.
Nice flight,thank you. I liked the deer.
Thanks John. I like deer but not when I'm landing... 😳 It's amazing how often they decide to cross the runway instead of turning and running away from the runway... 🤔
Hey I can see my house from here
