Pacific City

This was a lunch trip I made from Twinoaks to Pacific city on the Oregon coast with two co-workers.  It was Spring of 07 and there was a 20 knot wind from the north.

Short final to Pacific city

A very short and narrow runway.

My passengers did not really realize how challanging this landing was.  A 20 knot wind and lots of activity on short final coming over the river.

Take off to the North

Look out for the powerlines !!!

You can easily walk to the beach from the pad by walking over the bridge seen here.  Note haystack rock in the background.

This was a beautiful day on the Oregon coast.  We snuck off from work and flew to the coast for lunch.  Isn't flying great !  (note the windsock below)

The other of Twin Oaks 172's was also at the coast that day.

We flew north along the coast a little after takeoff

If you hurt yourself, I have never seen you before and somebody else posted this stuff here.  No,  I don't know who it was
