It's always a treat to find friends along the way. This time we are especially pleased when Kim Fichera flew his Cirrus over 1,000 miles to come and visit with us for two days.
Here's Kim coming in for a landing at the Newport Airport, a really nice facility and only about 3 miles from the famous Newport Bridge where we were parked.
Bob took this picture of the bridge when he took Kim for a ride up the coast in our little Honda. Since it's only a two-seater, I stayed behind so Kim could enjoy the sights which I've seen many times. Here are some photos of what Bob & Kim saw that day.
The photo of the bridge above is of Beverly State Park, one we have stayed at before. There aren't too many spaces that Popeye will fit into, but we like it because you can walk under this bridge right onto the beach.
The above photos are of the beautiful Northern Oregon coastline, always spectacular, even on hazy days such as today.
Our visit ends all too soon, and now it's time for Kim to make the flight home. Between visits to the Rogue Brewery a couple of times, and the ride up the coast, our two days were complete.
Here's a picture of the glass cockpit in Kim's plane. The flight home took just 5 hours and 13 minutes, nonstop.
Kim starts the engine after fueling, and is almost ready for takeoff!
There he goes! What a thrill and thanks, Kim, for taking your time for a visit. Not too many people will do that and we appreciate the time and effort you made.
