    Yes, it is at these tables in the image. There are two bridges there now, but the Eastern bridge is un-stable and not safe anymore:

    The pleasure was mine!  Not only did I enjoy the show, but I learned a great deal from each of you.
    Maybe I'm not quite so intimidated by all of this.

    Thanks

    Trevor gives new meaning to the Old Army, “ Field Expediency!”

    Things are going quite well, and then he manages to break a wire on the ground station.  A Traumatic experience for the average guy, that would have sent him home to the shop.
    Not Trevor!
    He produces a pair of pliers from the junk box, prunes about 40 feet of wire,
    Strips the ends, twists them back together, borrows a battery, and fly’s for the rest of the day.
    He has earned the Honorable Right, to be known as “Twisted Wire”

    Wow, I am jealous of your long range capabilities!  That was crazy far out there, congratulations.

    Does your return to home land the aircraft for you?

    BTW: You know you can count on me to help you look if you lose your airplane.  ;)

    The plane will fly back to me and circle over head untill you regain signal. Ill keep that in mind if I ever loose it ill give you a call now that I know your on Standby for a SAR. 

    Im thinking that flying out like I have been isnt a very good idea as its REALLY EASY to be flying at 1000' AGL and where I was flying is right in line with the flight paths in and out of KMFR. So I am looking for other places to fly but ill need somewhere that I can land and take off from. ANY IDEAS.....

    The target is this little tower on Tin Pan Peak, things are totally different up there since the Google image was taken, I built a fire line up there last year during the fire and would like to have some video of that.
