Pressing on - two flights today in turbulent skies and poor visibility. This shot is from the last flight, and has been heavily dehazed to allow one to 'just' about discern the city of York ahead.

*Wrapped in his hoodie and sweats as it is a crisp cold day, Peppi chirps a tune as he soars throught the sky*

Patreon Commission I got from Foxenawolf. I basically gave her a prompt of Peppi my Donk Dragon soaring through the air in flight, just enjoying some time flying.

Soaring in wave over the Balkans on Christmas!

Some portions of the flight were at Vne. (Never exceed speed, also known as redline.)

How about a (gliding) flight?

Join me on today's first flight of the day, from take-off to landing - a morning stroll at 2,500ft over the Vale of York. Conditions were crystal clear and perfectly still, leading to an enjoyably expansive view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miIcln1a5ro

Schell Creek Range, picturesque as ever. Gotta check if there are trails to those peaks.

"We found that albatrosses employ a navigation strategy of taking zigzag routes to reach upwind or downwind goals faster (and beelines in other wind conditions) as yacht racers do. Further, the wind direction dependence of flight speed at the microscale plays a key role in albatross mesoscale and macroscale movement in the same way as in the sailboats."
