Sandia peak NM

[G.I.B.]

I'm out in Santa Fe NM for a little while on a job. We were working over Sandia Peak today just east of Albuquerque NM.

I rode the cable car up to the peak years ago, this time the view was from overhead.

It was a pretty day to fly.

Nice pics.

There is a great treasure recovery story from the slopes of Sandia.

Google gave me nothing, but I remember the story well from the newspaper......mid 1980's....I think.

That's cool. I don't even get a company provided vehicle, but they do pay all expenses to operate My own. My dad work for a company that had a Beech Baron and a Cessna Citation in the 70s. I went up in both and sat up at the controls of the Citation one time.
