That sure looks like KGPI. Is that the Semi-tools Corsair? I fly up there ALL the time, in fact, I'll be there 3 times next week.

The people at Semitool were very very gracious...and it helps to know the chief pilot :)

I'm glad to hear he's back, from what I remember, he was gone for a while after a difference of opinion w/ the owner, and the Corsair sat for quite a while, as noone else was checked out in it.

Steve took me up in the Corsair...but Frank replaced him as CP...it all worked for everybody.

Excellent pics. Thanks! Any video?

You caught the alt in a couple pics...the airspeed would have been neat too.

Is that the -24 & -25 sitting on the ramp?
