My Ride 1; Self Portrait

 Taken over Sunset Crater east of Flagstaff, Arizona. I am flying our homebuilt Glasair III. Rhoda Batson and Rich Roberge flew alongside in our Cessna 182 to take the pictures.

Spring break maybe, but a few inches of wet snow made our camp site in the Arizona desert near Lake Mead unique. (photo by Ray Batson)

Snowy surprise on an April morning

My fiberglas ride 1
Our homebuilt biplane, we built with tube and fabric and wood and dacron over the course of 7 and 1/2 years, from 1977 to 1985. I took this picture with a remote cable in the cockpit. The camera was mounted on the vertical fin of the airplane. (Photo by Ray Batson)
