2017, a year of trike flying

[@wesleycardinal8869]

Stunning scenery, beautiful photography, wonderful music. Thanks for taking us along on your flights around your part of this beautiful planet. What a privilege it is to be able to fly!

Excellent. Have been at or near most of those place names one way or another over the years. That powerful effect of the text combined with clarity of the images made for some potent nostalgic brain rushes. As I have been pondering the choice between a seaworthy small pilot-house boat (e.g., C-Dory) capable of multi-month excursions versus a lite-weight 'easily' trailerable STOL-ish aircraft capable of supporting at least 2-3 day (i.e., 2 to 4 gallons of water, etc) loops from the RV and aircraft trailer your statistical summary at the end really helped cut through a few contributors to the fog in my visualization of life with a suitable aircraft. Boats have marinas with every level of possible services and vast amounts of literature (much of it compiled by various regulatory agencies and freely available) which answer most every question the uninitiated might have. With the new folding electric bikes a cruising boat has access to an incredible amount of land/hard surface area along the US waterways. Not so much/easy for aircraft (hence, the RV and trailer is essential for the 'bush' aircraft if it is going to interest me).... If you camp out on your trips, large blue 'duffel' nicely squared away in the rear seat suggests you do, sure hope there is a video of your gear choices.

Great video, Jeff. This is the video I will show my friends when they ask me why I fly a trike.

You live in a beautiful country. Makes me want to immigrate.Thanks for taking the time to edit and post!

[@henricahyosetiawan]

Wow, amazing view. Thank you for sharing this video

[@clemens74]

Wow, very nice. A lot of editing work that paid off!

[@BobDiaz123]

Wow, wow, wow!!!! Amazing footage!!!

[@Amphictyon1]

Excellent 'cinematography' (editing and musical score choice). One of the best trike flying compositions I've seen yet. 'I gave always liked the style of videos that 'Henry Trikelife' produces, but this one is even better. Frankly, the music makes the scenery so much more ethereal. Without it, let's face it, a lot of NM is pretty blah. (Not from a trike, of course!)

Cool stuff. We've been over these areas, but not quite trimming the trees. What's your cruising speed and range?

[@frankdempsey5395]

Very cool Jeff.

[@sgray2052]

Amazing what the FLOOD did in a few HOURS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Left all the sand dunes to remain.

[@ub8aaq30]

Красота!

[@serga2112]

How did you summarize so much flying hours? 125h is pretty much per one year! Did you fly every weekend for a several hours? Regards!

[@jeffsflightlog]

Most of my "short" flights are 2 hours long, with a lot of 4 hour day trips. Plus a couple multi-day trips that rack up a lot of hours.

[@kobavekua8984]

👍👍

df3yt, It's a bit long at 11 minutes, but the clips (all 143 of them) are only 4 to 5 seconds long, so you can't be bored for long. I had a great time flying last year with lots of amazing scenery from the "Land of Enchantment".
