A good choice for Labor Day!

I had some time, so did my new flying buddies Amber and Cache.

Scott's Bluff area.

Playing it cool in the back seat...  Or wait, is he asleep?

There really isn't any way to describe trying to find and flying by Crazy Horse.  We could see a white spot on the mountain 20 minutes, or 50 miles away before we approached. 
 Crazy Horse.  Imagine the entire windows being filled with one huge sculpture...

Just playing it cool.

Washington is the first to see.
Another very impressive  sculpture to fly by.  Not as large, but much more impressive than Crazy Horse.
 Somehow Roosevelt got the shaft...
 Still in the background...   Flying by Rushmore was a bit harder than Crazy Horse, doing this again, I would approach Rushmore from the south, and descend into the valley with a clear exit path, you could fly much closer than I was able to.
 My flying buddies, and my new flying photographer!  Thanks Amber!
Of course, once on the ground in Rapid City it looked like Kansas...  No time for the $100 burger!

Back in the air, but not enough time to see Devil's tower up close...
One sick passenger, One late arrival at the home airport, but 3 very happy fliers!
