Mostly Maine
Aerial views of Midcoast Maine
On February 11, 2021, we started to reshoot and photograph for the first time, some of the lighthouses located close to the Brunswick area. Included are Doubling Point and the range, Squirrel Point, Perkins Island, Pond Island, Seguin, Hendricks Head, The Cuckolds and Burnt Island Lights. I’m using a new camera with a much higher resolution, which is very helpful, but I have a bit of a learning curve to overcome. Thank you Jakob for the piloting assist.
I woke up this morning to -7 F TEMPS. Thought about cancelling, but decided to pull on my long johns and layer up. What a beautiful day to fly.
Thank you Eric A. for flying with me and thank you PWM ATC for letting me fly around your airspace in a non standard manner.
Here are some early examples from the flight:
More will be coming, either here, on FB or Instagram.

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).
A quick flight up the coast. Over flew Friendship Harbor. Gorgeous day to be flying.
From Merrymeeting Bay to Brunswick, Maine.
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.
