I was buzzing around the internet and saw a picture of a Cessna (c-170?) taking off from what looked like the old town of Marcus, WA.

Does this ring any bells? Where might I find this picture again?

Could it possibly be some pictures taken from the TV show Walker Texas Ranger? They flew a 180hp 170 in and out of a main street somewhere up there for one of their shows. I know the pilot that flew the stunt. Could that be it?

The Q2/97 170 News has a story by member Neil Salmi who flew his 180hp 170B in the filming of an episode of Walker Texas Ranger. He landed and took off on Main Street in Coalville Utah -- under one set of powerlines & then above a second set! Yee-haw!!
Karl, where in Washington is Marcus? I'm in Port Townsend.

the picture I saw was labled, marcus wa. Its up in n.e. wa. near kettle falls. you could only faintly see the outlines of a former town streets homes and sidewalks. I think the town was displaced by the water behind grand coulee dam. I just thought it would be cool to land there and scope it out, since others were.

Wow... sounds like an intersting location. Would like to see that picture too.

Flying around here in North Texas with all the new developments... the new streets with nothing on them look tempting to do a touch and go on!

From that Walker Texas Ranger clip... the owner didnt fly the scenes a pilot by the name of Jim Helms did. Jim was the arial coordinator for the series. Really is an amazing piece of flying... as you stated... powerlines and film cameras to miss! That episode is called "Swan Song." Wish we could get that clip digital to post on the web!

I did a google search and came up with a picture of a 140 taking off from Marcus, WA. at the address below.

I don't know the picture that you are talking about but I have been to Marcus at low water. The picture of the 140 and the Luscombe at Marcus are mine, but I do not know of any pictures of me there. Maybe one of them got one. You go only to say you have: the conditions aren't very good.
