During a recent fly-in event, former U.S. Navy carrier pilot and now sport trike flyer “TTABS” made another great flying video, showing some gorgeous scenery in The American Redoubt. This one shows him and a friend flying out of Bonners Ferry, Idaho to skim over the peaks of the Cabinet Mountains, in Northwestern Montana. He has promised to soon post a few more videos filmed in the same region.

And during the same Trike Fly-In event, TTABS and a friend did an honorary fly-by at The Bird Aviation Museum in Sagle, Idaho. By pre-arrangement, the legendary Dr. Forrest Bird stepped outside his house to see the pair of trikes fly over. Sadly, Forrest Bird passed away the very next day, at age 94. It was a fitting final salute for a pioneer in both aviation and aviation medicine. Our sincere condolences to his family. – JWR
