I did a ~24hr overnighter at far northeastern washington state. turns out sullivan lake is an absolute gem. definitely going back there. avey is a short gravel strip on the canadian border, extending into canada, so technically I've been in canada with my plane now. 8.1 flight hours on one "tank" of gas.

avey is 69S, sullivan lake 09S, ione S23.

    Great wheelie on your lakeside takeoff! I second everything your other fans have said.

    This is amazing man well done! Imagine if you could have showed yourself this video as a message from the not distant future when you first started training - you wouldn't believe it! Great editing as well sir. Location 10/10.
