For a little maintenance work at Mac Air. Those guys delivered, all good.
Took some videos on the way down and on the way back, here’s a quick view of flying into Portland (KPWM).

Flying again
A quick flight up the coast. Over flew Friendship Harbor. Gorgeous day to be flying.
Ice Out on the lower Kennebec River
Up the Androscoggin River
From Merrymeeting Bay to Brunswick, Maine.
Now it’s Winter
I used to love winter. I was an avid skier, liked to snowshoe, the frosty air invigorated me. No longer, it is cold and dark. But there are lots of beautiful sights in the winter, plus it is a good time to learn new photo and video software. And, airplanes love the cold, my plane jumps off the runway with hardly any takeoff roll due to the cold, dense air.
For those interested, I’m using iMovie on both the iPad and a nice new Mac Book Pro. I am also using Final Cut Pro on the laptop. For stills, I am back to Adobe’s Lightroom and Photoshop. I’m even dabbling with GarageBand for sound tracks, but think I’ll mostly be using the iPad’s iMovie soundtracks.
Deep into Fall
As of a few days ago, Mt Washington received its first coating of snow. Judging by the freezing rain we are getting along the coast tonight, I’m sure the foot hills are also white tonight.
Late Summer Pemaquid Point, Maine
Today was an hazy summer day, not so great for picture taking but a very smooth day to fly.
Pownal Courthouse
This Courthouse was built in the 1760’s and according to Wikipedia is the only surviving precolonial Courthouse in Maine. John Adams came all the way from Boston, by boat, to try a case here. On occasion, the Maine Supreme Court will use this early venue.
This Courthouse is part of my Kennebec River tour.
Lands End – Bailey Island, Maine
It’s still summer, but in the evening and morning you can feel a slight chill in the air. But Lands End is still looking very summery.
A Great Day to Fly…
A great day to fly over Popham Beach if you are not at the beach.
