Here is a video taken from a Kolb Firestar II by an old friend of my father's in eastern Oregon.
Reference picture of a Kolb Firestar II:
Narrative:
**This fellow lives on a VERY remote ranch in eastern Oregon… He has fitted an HD camera to the nose of his Kolb and posts videos of his ramblings around the wild areas where he lives… He is articulate, has good taste in the music he selects, and is a student of the history of the area.. He also trains Peregrine Falcons and hunts with them… that kind of guy.
Note the password required to open the video… (below).**
--Here is a video of a flight down in the Owyhee River Canyon to a spot that I like to call Fish Camp. It is pretty remote and is only accessed by air, or a two track road that comes in from Vale Oregon. About the only time that anyone other than me goes there is around the forth of July. Even so I was a bit surprised to find someone camping there.
My reason for going was to check the amount of landing area that one could use there. We are having our "Fly-in" the last weekend of June and some of the people coming are unfortunately unable to own a Kolb, and therefore have these Spam Cans that require a lot more runway to safely land and take off. I think that most will be able to handle it, will just have to wait and see.
Today was just perfect for a flight with little wind. It is due to climb to 95 degrees a bit later, so I took off quite early, naturally right into the sun.

Panel 1: The Canadian-American shared border is the longest in the world and quite peaceful at that. It's also host to the largest trade relationship in the world. So things are pretty lovey dovey there.
Panel 2: Not so on USA's southern border sadly. That sneaky little red-white-green ball is always trying to secretly get inside America. Use Rohypnol next time Mexico!
Panel 3: It's a reference to this totally badass but also really weird border closing ceremony between India and Pakistan.
Panel 4: The borders between Norway and Sweden are totally open so the Sami people are free the herd reindeers between them. They also castrate these reindeers, sometimes with some truly strange rituals that I did not depict unfortunately.
Panel 5: The Azeri-Armenian border is truly fucked up. Enclaves and exclaves, Armenian villages annexed by Azerbaijan, Azeri villages annexed by Armenia. And then there's Nagorno-Karabh, a disputed region. You could say they're a little tied up at the moment.
Panel 6: Bolivia sad, cannot scuba diving like other countries that can into ocean. And Chile is not helping! Smug ******* ---- much??
Panel 7: Turkey is feeling a little overwhelmed recently, what with all the Syrian refugees flooding in.
Panel 8: Lake Chad is shared by Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon. all of whom seem to be competing to see who can empty it out first. Much to the dismay of the 8 ball fishermen in the area.
Panel 9: The Korean Demilitarized Zone, a misleading name as it's actually the most heavily militarized border in the world. The dividing line between a tragic relationship :(
Panel 10: Crossing the border into China from Afghanistan will jump you ahead 3.5 hours, because of the way the timezones are set up. Afghanistan is fast asleep while China is groggily sipping some morning tea.
Panel 11: The Schengen Area, a constant party across Europe! The UK was invited, but he's not quite sure he likes what he sees...
yes I know I didn't include every schengen member, there are too damn many of them
Panel 12: Self-explanatory. And sad.
Panel 13: The Western Sahara is disputed between Morocco and the Sahrwari Arab republic, which Morocco doesn't recognize. He's a tad insecure about the whole thing.
