Windy Time-lapse

Very windy this morning but mostly over by 10am. Time-lapse makes it look very busy. Watch for a few airliners streaking through the sky. 01-11-2024 Palm Springs California

The New Reno Air Races?

This is a good view of the airport in Thermal from flying Saturday. It is actually Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport. It is being considered for the new location for the Reno Air Races. 01-06-2024 Thermal California

BMW Performance Center

Flying out of the airport in Thermal takes you over the BMW Performance Center where people can drive high performance BMW’s on these two tracks. The circular track is highly polished concrete which can be sprayed with water. The cars easily hydroplane and spin. I have done it and it is almost as much fun as flying. 01-06-2024 Thermal California

Geothermal Power

Flying around the Salton Sea… One of eleven power stations of the Imperial Valley Geothermal Project. The area is the second largest Geothermal field in the United States. Lithium extraction and Geothermal power are expected to provide the financial resources to restore the Salton Sea and huge economic benefits to the region. 01-06-2024

The Shrinking Sea

It was a beautiful day to be flying around the Salton Sea. Perfectly clear and warm out, and the Sea was very blue.

However being familiar with the Sea since 2003, I can see the changes. The small lake, just one year ago, was an outlet to the Salton Sea. In prior years at the height of the popularity of the Sea, it had a busy boat ramp and even a fishing supply and bait shop. The shrinking of the Salton Sea continues at an alarming rate and poses a significant ecological disaster. 01-06-2024
