X Flight
The X Flight adventure was completed today with ceremonial flights
from Dorothy Scott International Airport in Oroville (where Robin landed on
Thursday) into Canada and then back to the airport. They had originally planned
to take off from Mansfield east of Chelan Butte, but the cirrus clouds from the
last two days were still happening causing havoc at the Chelan Open also, so
they moved north and waited for the cirrus to thin out a bit.
Pilots were taken up one at a time starting with the pioneer of this adventure,
Larry Bunner, and they all flew across the border and then back to the airport.
Robin was actually towed across the border and the trike pilot got to go into
Canadian airspace also.
