My dad has always wanted to see the California Super Bloom, which for those who have never heard of this event, it is a rare desert botanical phenomenon in which unusually high proportion of wildflowers blossom at roughly the same time!

You must have an unusually wet rainy season in order for this to happen. Well, the stars couldn’t have aligned any better this year. We had an almond-drying contract for the R44 in Santa Rosa, CA…so the chopper was perfectly positioned for us to go and pick it up once the contract ended and bring it back to Buckeye.
So for my dad’s birthday we flew him with us to Santa Rosa and picked up the R44 and flew him over one of the most amazing sites to see from the air. I think we all felt like rockstars as this was a pretty epic trip for all of us. Let the pictures speak for themselves.

As always you have beautiful photos and what a great thing for you to do fir your dad!!! There couldn’t have been a better gift fir him. And I think you probably both enjoyed it too!! Isn’t nature the best gift?!!
