It was a perfect day for flying, with light winds and unlimited visibility. We took off from our home base at KSAW and flew north along Lake Superior. The areas of peak color vary dramatically and seeing it from the air is really the best way in this remote area.

The View: Lake Independence and the Iron River. Near Big Bay, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula.

The Pilot: Tim Bieber*.

The Photographer: Kate Zimmer with a Canon 5D Mk3.

The Airplane: 1959 Cessna 180.

The Mission: Sightseeing the color in our neighborhood.

The Memory: It was a perfect day for flying, with light winds and unlimited visibility. We took off from our home base at KSAW and flew north along Lake Superior. The areas of peak color vary dramatically and seeing it from the air is really the best way in this remote area.
