Dreamtime arrives at Dead Lake, Minnesota.

Stretching out the envelope across Fred and Mary's yard.

Tom goes inside for a little preventive maintenance to replace the temperature sensor lead.

Later, the evening of that day, ready to take Fred (r) and neighbor Don for a flight over the lakes.

Ready for liftoff from St. James' parking lot in Maine, MN.

And up we go.

Heading out over Pickrel Lake.

Making a low pass over the ripening fields of wheat.


Back at the cabin for our post-flight champagne, Tom explains the champagne tradition to Don.

A salute to our newest Aeronaut.

What to do when you can't fly? Tom, Fred and London have the answer . . . go for a spin around the lake.

Or do a little fishing for bass . . .

. . . more bass . . .

. . . and walleye.

Tom brings in one bluegill while Stephanie unhooks another.

And if the fish aren't biting, just take in the scenery.
