A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

Heh!
Reminds me of a flight through Hell's Canyon Wildlife Area in Oregon. I was in the back seat of a six place Cessna which had a fold-down back rest (for access to the baggage area?). The flight was for the purpose of spotting elk prior to hunting season.
The pilot (obviously an ex-fighter jock) spent a lot of time with the wings perpendicular to the ground and it was a spectacular ride - we saw quite a few elk. I was fine until the seat back latch failed during a steep climb out and my upper body fell backwards 90 degrees. Couldn't get the seat back to stay in place so I had to hold myself upright by main muscle power - nothing to hold on to. I had to ask for a bag. Lucky we flew before breakfast. I got a few pictures before the seat back failure. All-in-all a real hoot and I won't ever forget it.
