Desert Flying

  1. Oh, I thought you meant flying. From above, the desert looks green.

    A friend took a student pilot for a flight over the desert. Idiot student wanted to land in the desert. His perception of the desert is wide open empty spaces devoid of any form of life.

    I knew a man who had to put down in the desert in eastern CA, not far from AZ border. He hit a creosote bush hard enough to bend a prop blade. He and a passenger spent the next two days straightening the prop. He is an A&P and had tools. He did a good enough job they were able to fly to an airport withiut tearing the engine off its mounts.
