Last month, I took the family up to Lake Pillsbury, CA, for a perfect day of backcountry flying. The wind was right down the strip, conditions were amazing, and we saw more **Tule Elk** than I could count roaming the shores and meadows.

If you're itching to try mountain flying, off-airport landings, or bush-style adventures this spring, shoot me a message! Spring conditions are arriving fast, and prime flying season is here.

We're now booking lessons:
- **Cessna 182**: March–May (great for building mountain and backcountry skills)
- **Supercub**: April–May (ideal for tailwheel, off-airport, and specialty training)

We offer flexible options for brand-new pilots and experienced flyers looking to sharpen mountain, off-airport, or other specialty skills.

DM me to reserve your spot—spots fill up quickly this time of year! ✈️ HaleChristopher Hale

This is an amazing area to fly and looks to be getting better with RAF support. Excellent!

Oregon RAF Liaison Bill Ables has been awarded a $5,000 RAF grant to retain RAF membership in and support the Hells Canyon Recreation Collaborative (HCRC) for the next five years.
