Cessna Centurion II

[12 Wyoming]

Pipeline Patrol Plane buzzing me today. They fly our natural gas pipeline's looking for leaks, sinkholes, unauthorized excavations over the line. Anything out of normal. Anyway unexpected fly by today, and I grabbed the Camera.
Notice the Video Camera's on the belly.

Pipeline Patrol Plane buzzing me today. They fly our natural gas pipeline's looking for leaks,... I used to work for ANR out of the head office in Detroit, & flew the line from the UP down to LA for an article. We used the Skymaster twin, though. Great A/C to shoot out of.

Good grab shots, but they could use more prop blur:

Thanks PhotoGuy. That was my first prop plane, and I just didn't the SS down enough. He'll be back! Damn this Aviation stuff is getting addicting. I'm headed back to Salt Lake City this weekend for some more big jets. This time close up hopefully.

Low and slow, flaps provide a little extra lift.
