Early morning at Woodland airport (W27). Mount Hood can be seen in the distance:
We head east and start a long climb towards the summit:
The goal today is to see just how high on the mountain I can land the Draco X:
Hmm. Looks too steep on this side:
This side looks a bit better… I think? 
OK, not at the summit, but pretty close! The Draco comes equipped with a very effective parking brake:
Which is just as well, considering the slope I’m on!:
OK, time to continue east:
Approaching the small airstrip at Valley View:
Parking at Valley View (5S9). My plane is bigger than yours!
