| This series of photos was taken by Garry from the cockpit of his M-18L,
N119C, while on a sight-seeing trip he made during the August 2001 WAMM Fly-in at
Prosser, Washington. Click to enlarge photos. |

| Westbound towards Mt. St. Helens,
through the windshield. I think I was flying at 10,500 ft. |
Westbound. That's the windshield frame in the picture.
I slid the canopy back so I wouldn't get any reflections. It was a little
cold and windy up there, but I did get clear pictures. |

| Westbound, abeam Mt. St. Helens.
I passed the Mt. St. Helens on the north side and you can clearly see
where the whole side of the mountain has been blown away. |
Eastbound, I did a 180°
to the left, which put me much closer. The smoke coming from the
crater smelled like burned rubber --
like the smell I got from my left main tire when I hit the brakes during
my landing run on Thursday night! |

I have a little bonus picture --
Crater Lake, in Oregon. I deviated a little
from my route on the way to Prosser so I could fly over the lake. I took
my
family on a trip by car to Seattle and Vancouver, BC and returned via
Crater Lake in the early 1970s, and I wanted to see it again by air. |
