My old pal Seth who was stationed overseas for a few years in Kosovo and Iraq came home with the drive to learn how to fly. After instruction with Will Outlaw, a great local flight instructor whom I've flown with before, Seth is now a full private pilot.

Now that the weather is starting to pull out of winter, we took a quick trip from Crystal Airport down to Winona. Glad to have someone else to fly with and it's good to get back up in the air again. I hadn't flown in a few months.

Got a couple shots including Red Wing, Afton Alps and Minneapolis. See my slideshow or the individual photos on Flickr.

Christine and I took some photos around Saint Paul, MN, Ladysmith, WI, Shell Lake, WI and down the Saint Croix River. (Flickr Slideshow)
