With the arrival of Labor Day weekend, I found that I had a "little bit" of extra time! The boiler had not arrived yet, so I went to Phillips Saturday morning to see what was up at the Ultralight and Powered Parachute Fly in. After take-off, I noticed the fog still hovering over Deer Lake.




I flew back over the airport and saw something next to runway 06/24. Chuters?




I zoomed a little and there were three of them laying out their chutes in preparation for lift off. When they land, they then need to get the chute all straightened out, folded just right and stored in a big nylon bag. I know I would not have the patience required to operate one of those.




Phillips from the north.




As poor as this photo is, I had to include it. It's the swirling algae on Long Lake, just west of Phillips.......




I headed east and found some interesting places. This one had a "C" shaped border of dense pines around the house.




Here's a odd shaped field of corn that looks about ready to pick.




And a field of ?oats?? in various stages of ripeness.




I made it down to Prentice in time to join the nine powered chutes in a prolonged fly over of the Prentice Progress Days parade. We went quite low through town several times, going from north to south. Fun.




I went back to Phillips in the evening and had a short fly, experienced a wonderful sunset reflecting off a small lake.




Sun under the wing....
