This is over the Geneseo NY area (Livingston County) at last weekend's air show. That's a big salt mine, and just west of that Is Letchworth Canyon and the state park. We did not overfly the canyon this trip, but on a previous trip in a Moth belonging to a local foundation, we did fly the length of the canyon adn it was spectacular. Not too many options for forced landings though.. not smart practice in a 74 year old single engine aircraft! But sometimes you gotta live on the edge.
It is indeed beautiful countryside. Back here at home, we have very similar scenery, we are hangared 5 miles south of Wasaga Beach on Georgian Bay (largest freshwater beach around) and just a little east of Blue Mountain which is a popular local ski resort area. So there are good things to see. That's my ugly ass in the yellow T-shirt. The registration is CF-MAD - Mike, Andy, Dan.
