Yes we were preparing to fly in Winthrop Washington in March of 2007.  Flying in the snow cover mountains of the Winthrop is just as beautiful as flying in the Yamhill Valley around McMinnville, Oregon.  This was a great flight and we were able to see the romantic town of Winthrop, fly above the mountain peaks, view and touch the river running through the valley floor, and view wild life.  Eagles and Deer were spotted on this flight.
