    Great video!!! Loved seeing Walla Walla from the sky. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard on this endeavor. For reference, I am the emergency management director for Walla Walla County. By that way, I had to look up your aircraft after viewing the video. Beautiful plane!!!!

      Hi Liz - Thanks for the nice comments and for your support of Thunder Run (and Whale Run in OR!). The ground support folks at KALW were great!

    I did a couple of the dart runs that day from Renton to Shelton with 300 lbs of potatoes, carrots and onions. The plane smelled of soup the whole time! Made me hungry. Fun time.

    Been watching your videos and I absolutely love them. I am a pilot and I live in Redmond Oregon so I love watching some of your flights into the Bend area.

    21:16 That was definitely a mistake. Onions should have been on top! Now all you need is some potatoes and pickles and you can make enough Dutch "hutspot" to feed an army! 🤣

    nice ,,, ever think of using an inogen for your o2?

    • @twmba65
      @twmba65  2 роки тому

      I have looked at Inogen but not too seriously. It would be convenient to eliminate refills. However with the Mountain High pulse demand system I have, a cylinder refill lasts several flights. I'd be interested to hear about any experiences with the Inogen system.

    How often do you need FIKI in the puget sound area?

    • @twmba65
      @twmba65  2 роки тому +2

      It depends on the how much flying you do and the directions you want to travel in the winter months. If you are going over the Cascades to the east, I would say the majority of the time I have needed fiki at least for a part of the trip ... say going through a layer climbing out of Seattle or coming back in. Even to fly down to Portland, if you want to fly IFR with freezing levels at around 4-6000ft, fiki is often needed in winter. Of course fiki in a light twin is not a guarantee to get through any weather. I have already scrubbed flights in winter a few times in the year I have been flying N62DL. Usually for forecast SLD, signs that the icing will be along a lot of the route, or freezing levels so low that it would be tough have a "Plan B" exit. It is a complex topic .... I am still learning my self and am very cautious.
