There is a great new article up on BCP about ski flying by Mike Vivion. Mike is a wealth of knowledge, and really does a lot for the community. Thanks for taking the time Mike! It’s definitely worth the read…

Thought this was super cool!
Kudos Airframes Alaska for innovating!
I have a chance to pick up some hydraulics so the penny’s had to go. Gonna miss em…
Some great chewy air! DA this AM was -4600.
Flew over to Sherman Field where I was taunted by the cool kids for not having my skis worked out yet.
Might try to get em on before the snow all goes away.
Still plugging away at the punch list, although she’s really getting close. Gonna weigh her in a week or so. The plan is to weigh her in all possible configurations. Pilot seat only, pilot/copilot seats only, fronts with only one FA Dodge jump, with both jumps, with the 3rd row installed, and the same with the skis. Cant wait for the skis!
Kevin has been taunting us with the snow they are getting out west. (Getting me jealous) I found this vid he posted last year. Cool to check out. I gotta learn to ski…
