We flew 220 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the Imperial Sand Dunes of southeastern California. The flight lasted from sunrise to about 3pm. We flew from our home field Pleasant Valley airfield over the beautiful Sonoran desert, past the White Tank Mountains, via Gila Bend airport, over a vast stretch of alfalfa fields, to the low desert, to Yuma (where we stopped for lunch), and then to the dunes. The weather was great, although windy at times. The ground vehicles were mostly doing the “sand drag races” at the dunes. Other aircraft: notice the cropduster flying beneath halfway through, and my friend Chris flying our friend Kurt’s plane throughout. Aircraft: Air Creation Buggy with Kiss 13m wing. Camera: Sony PC 110 with .42 wide angle. Conditions: calm to 15mph wind (we trailered home to 20mph headwinds). Altitude: 2-1000′ AGL. One of the best rides of my life.
