Flyers' Paradise

[AZFlyer]

Well, it's January and it's going to be 72 degrees and 100% sunshine tomorrow in Arizona. It's a flyer's paradise.

Got them lined up and ready to go. Feels like a warbird kind of weekend. Come fly with us!

Yeah, but we pay for it June through August. :)

And yeah, I'll be out flying tomorrow! ;)

They may have the Flyer's Paradise....but right now we have builder's paradise. Have fun guys!:):Cool:

Amen to that TJ.
We actually have a decent weekend on tap here all considered but I’m just too busy on a couple projects and my dogs need some run time.
Winter has always been my build time so no worries... I also love the summers here as we have lots of water to play in and reasonable temps to fly all we want.
Flying season usually kicks off around the first of April so I’d better keep busy in the shop!
Let us know what the temps are like in “paradise” come July AZ ;)

That's when we have "builder's paradise" like TJ said. But the good thing for us is that if we really want to go out and fly in the summer, the sun is up by 5am, and it's bearable out there until about 8am.

Reckon we all have a different version of paradise. After being a planet roaming spirit for a lifetime, I’ve yet to find another place to take permanent root. I love it here in PA. The abundant fresh water and overall decent temps make outdoor living here my paradise. This picture is five minutes walk from my house. The dogs n I love it here!

That is beautiful!

As beautiful as that scene is in your picture, remember that the topic was "Flyers Paradise". Unless you have a runway just behind you, what would you fly standing where you took that picture? How far is your nearest flying facility? For me when in the middle of winter, my "Flyers Paradise" is anytime the temp is no colder that a couple degrees below freezing, wind no higher than a couple mph, bright sunshine and a plowed runway.
To me, "paradise" (nothing to do with flying) must be defined into sub-categories. Is it where you live? Is it anywhere in the world you've been? The resultant answers can be as varied as the people who wish to share it and could make for a very lengthy "off-topic" thread.

Your so analytically correct...

What am I thinking.

Its 50* here
The snow has melted.
Winds are 7mph WSW

sorry, I’m not flying and therefor have not taken a selfie at the runway to post

I have flown my DJI Phantom from that spot several times if that counts, probably not, must be another thread that covers that.

Peace out ;)

So today in paradise I went out at around 9am and flew my Freewing A-10, Freewing Yak-130 8S version, Freewing F-104 90mm, Freewing A-4, Freewing F-8, and Freewing F-105 (are you sensing a theme here?). Stayed out until about 2, then went and had lunch with the boys. I love this time of year!
