Flight to Telluride!

Allison's brother John came for a few days of skiing over his spring break. By Saturday, he had enough of the close encounters with the white stuff.


He wanted to make a trip to see some mountains from the plane, so we drove to Junction and pulled the Cessna out of the hangar and flew to Telluride for a very expensive diet Coke and an interesting flight back.




John-John was my co-pilot. This was his first trip up in a small plane. We flew over the Uncompaghres mountains, which were quite beautiful.



The approach to Telluride (KTEX) is pretty much one-way in, one-way out with a drop-off on either end.


You can see the ski areas in the back on the right.



Here we posed for our picture after a safe landing....
