Hello all!
I am a Cirrus owner so I hope I'm welcomed among the Bonanza folks : ) I've shared a hanger for years with a good friend who owns a beautiful V35TC. As a military pilot with plenty of formation flying, I would like to get the Cirrus community more involved with formation flying and I know the Bonanza folks have some experience with that.

I am also in the process of developing a website for pilots called FlyPals.com. It's a social website with interactive map features and a great opportunity to share flying experiences with fellow pilots. I use it to track all the flights I take, share FBO experiences, dining options, and see where all of my friends have gone. The is a non-commercial website and strictly used for fun - simply an easy way to share trips and experiences with other pilots. If any of you get a chance, check it out and let me know what you think...FlyPals.com.

I'm really looking forward to interacting with the Bonanza community.

Blake

Thanks John! Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the site. That's a beautiful twin you have by the way.

Of course you are welcome here, Blake! I'm sure you will have plenty to contribute. And just because you fly a Cirrus does not mean you are relieved of the responsibility to post PICTURES!!!

Couple of pics of my Cirrus. I have a ton of pics but they are all too large for submission. So I picked these to lower resolution.

NICE, Blake!

Thanks!
Anyone know how I would reduce the size of a picture to 48kb so I can add it to my avatar? That seems really small for a picture.
Thanks for the help

Blake, why is the gear still hanging down? :scratch:

Just kidding, nice plane!

RAGE!

Yes, everyone, my old hangar partner, in the (perverbial) flesh!

A sweet little cirrus that is! It's a bummer not to have a permanent wingman anymore. Vegas tours are just more fun with ya on the wing.

Fellow AF aviator (though, just like me, stuck in the RPA show). And just a good dude.

Great question! And I am shocked it took that long for someone to ask! :eek:

At least I never have to worry about a gear up landing.

Mr. Butterschotch! I knew you would find me eventually. Hey I'm headed out to Vegas this weekend and possibly need a spot in my old home for the weekend. I may drop it off at Lone Mountain Friday. And if I do, I will just leave it with them overnight - I'll let you know either way.
See ya!
