Scouting for tracks from the air

[Oblio13]

Borrowed a friend's bushplane and spent most of the day scouting for tracks in the fresh snow. Have a couple potential new deer hunting places picked out now to take a closer look at on snowshoes. Flew formation on a bald eagle for a bit, but couldn't manage a pic. Wouldn't mind having my own plane one of these days, but I'd probably just get in trouble with it.

How do people figure out that they can do that?

Neat! I just have to settle for aerial photos to recon the lay of the land. You are quite lucky to be able to fly. What bird did you fly for the Corps? F4, A4, AV8 or the F/A 18?

I use Google Earth a lot for scouting, too.

F4's, then A4's as an adversary and in the reserves. Got a couple back-seat rides in F18's before I got out, kinda wish I'd gotten my hands on one of those.

So you did a little time at NFWS, then! Pretty impressive! Growing up, the Phantom was my favorite bird. That all changed when I got on the working "dirt" end of CAS. A10 impressed the stuff out of me! But I still love the F4! Have experience working A7s in a CAS role. It was a good old bird, too.
