Great comments Gary. She's a very nice looking C182RG. Shows just how good and also how enduring is the engineering that came out of places like Wichita KS and Lock Haven PA.

Hi Dwight, love the low sun shot.
Written on 28.05.2020 by Gavin Hughes
The increased richness of yellow with low sun does make quite a difference to colors especially blue with yellow being its 'opposite'. As you pointed out, with SWA's blue, bright during high sun, quite a bit richer and darker in low sun, then there's the exposure...
Thanks for continuing to show us what you get there Darryl, but I note, still struggling for sunshine (mostly).

focus is debatable
Written on 28.05.2020 by a mentor
I find the color variance of a paint scheme in different lighting situations very interesting. Here in this evening shot, the SWA current livery is a very deep, almost navy blue. However, during broad daylight the shade of blue looks much lighter and vibrant.

Pilot suffered serious head trauma according to first responders.
Pictures would suggest A/C is a total loss
This is a beautiful flying machine. My Uncle Chet checked me out in it on 31 Aug 1979 Out of KHWD. Outstanding performer. Glad to see she's still in the air.
Written on 28.05.2020 by Gary Olson
Joseph - Nice to see this beauty still looking well cared for. Congratulations.
Written on 28.05.2020 by Gary Olson
I last flew her 10 Oct. 1980. Took my Mother-in-law, (from Germany for holiday), wife and a friend from KHWD up to Lake Tahoe KLTA for the day. Beautiful performance for high altitude airports. Quite a memory now, since all three of them have passed. I still kick around on my Flight Simulator now (since the real days of flight are gone).

Hate to break this news to you, FA. This aircraft is a C-182RG. I first flew it from KHWD to Ko48 (Fort Bragg, CA). Got fogged in and left the following morning N0v 12, 1979. The Aero Club at Hayward, CA had it at the time. Very fast little machine.

Hiya Chris! May well have been on a flight together. In the 85-87 time frame was flying on these to connect at LAX and/or visit my Aunt & Uncle in SoCal. Even on hot days, these didn’t need much runway for departure. Cheers!!

C.W., maybe you and I ended up on one together. My only flight on an RJ-85 was FAT-LAX in the mid 80s - probably 86 or 87, I can't quite remember which trip coming home from Lemoore that was.

Yeah, it'll be hard. My hometown looks like a third world country after GM 'downsized', and sent thousands of jobs to China back after the aughts. Houses literally falling apart because the good jobs are all gone. It's sad to see the huge decline there. Good people who couldn't compete with nearly free labor, and now thousands of pilots and flight attendants unable to compete with a virus. And over 100,000 have died. Tragic...

Thank you for the insight on your early days of the aircraft. Never would have thought that 8-Track tapes (alien technology) would have been used for data storage.
Nice shot and capture John!
