Big Bend Trip

Postby rbarber » Sat Apr 12, 2014 5:30 pm

We (Mike Singleton, Derek Hodges, and I) had a great time last weekend on a Sonex Adventure to Big Bend Ranch State Park. Some of the trip was documented on youtube here: http://youtu.be/kNbu59xhos4

Keep building. You will not regret it. More fun than a barrel of drunk pilots!

It was a great trip! So glad I got to go. One thing for sure...flying makes Texas a much smaller state! We saw more scenery in a weekend than most people do in a lifetime!! Here is the link to my pics:

Wow, that looks like it was a great trip. I have always thought about doing that in my plane, so we will have to do it again when mine is flying! Great Videos too Mike and Robert!
