75.9g (Didn't check CFS 2)

Hi TJ, I added your data to the scoring page, as well as a link to the "logbook" for this run. While not scored, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to gather data for comparison with the GA planes.

Thank you Robert

No worries Austin. Records updated.

Did you say yoot? What's a yoot? :icon_lol: :icon_lol: I read someplace that the "technical talk" on Star Trek was a result of the director instructing the actors to just "say stuff that sounds technical". They had no idea what they were even saying, which is pretty funny. Rgr Bussard Ramjet collectors. Now those would work. But you have to be going pretty darned fast, as you know...

My prayers to the folks in Oklahoma. We got slammed here on the north side of town with one in '06 that killed several people. I keep a national weather radar site bookmarked to keep an eye on storms that might be heading my way ever since that last one. What rolls through NE Texas and Oklahoma usually ends up here within about 36 hours. Think I'll go check flashlights and stuff..... Anyone else who is east of that storm front best be prepared to hunker down.

I remember when Moore got slammed by a F5 tornado back in 1999. Gosh!

Excellent flying. For the moment, taking the lead in the (unofficial) "Legacy League"!

Well it's strike two .. I have to withdraw my entry in the Gold Class due to real life reasons. It's been a great event ... had a ball ... wish I could finish. Good Luck All!

Nope ... not going to happen ... have to withdraw ... real life reasons. Good Luck everyone and thanks to the committee for producing a well developed ... well thought out event! Catch you guys later,

Not at all. I gave it a good look!

Am quite sure you Crusader fans have visited this site: http://www.cloudnet.com/~djohnson/index.html The Last of the Gunfighters website A lot of great information there:) NC

So glad I could help:mixedsmi: Every once in a while (when not even looking for it) I will discover yet another FSX site I'd not heard of. This community is larger than we realize! NC

I hate to mess up record keeping tasks, but I need to withdraw from at least one entry. I will not be "around" as much as I thought when I originally made the entries and I'm not comfortable having folks wait for me to finish, so ... As of this post I need to withdraw my entry for the MSFS Mooney Bravo in FS9 ... MSFS (Jeppesen) weather ... Low Course .... Silver Class. Apologies to the staff for any inconvenience this causes ... and in advance of a possible second withdrawal of the remaining entry.

Bravo Zulu K. Keep the BBQ going till I get there!

That would never work, Kevin. The impulse engine field modulators would interfere with the anti-gravity compensators if the atmospheric density is greater than 0.357 (Earth normalized), so the acceleration vector de-couplers wouldn't work, and anyone knows what would happen then! Hey, I heard Khan was involved in this movie. Is that true? That would be cool.

Down safe at 36U. Flight Time: 01:07:15 Race Time: 01:07:15 Fuel Consumed: 199 LBS http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=LUwZqFidGTJHoR2np8gfHb48q48

Good show Kevin!

On down the road: 36U.

Some kodaks of the flight down to Jackson Hole. There were considerable mountainous terrain issues to deal with on this leg. I had to make a detour early on to avoid some particularly scary looking hills, then we almost had a CFIT whilst motoring along in the clouds, then, upon breaking out onto the high plains north of Jackson Hole, I could see the mighty Tetons ahead. I zigged to the east to pass over the lake, which set me up for a nice approach into 19. Got in some ILS practice during the landing.

Congratulations, Kevin. Very well done. First place in the wooden aircraft division.

From my visit to the office. Ms. Murphy smiled with distracted amusement: "Tell the young man that there is not problem. He wants to post the authentication of his flight from O24 into O22. He may then take off from O22 to complete a short hop to O68. And to San Francisco thereafter. O22 will serve as an unplanned intermediate stop." "And one more thing. Let the fellow know that once he gets over water, Honolulu is not much farther..."

Made it to KSQL. Flight Time: 00:41:00 Fuel Consumed: 81.4 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=3kpciwpWe5mYxoMMk2RIsb7hUs

Thanks Rob! This 310 (Milviz) is really nice. Down safe at Jackson Hole. The duenna track shows a maximum altitude of 9978 feet. That's where I was sure I busted the 10K "soft ceiling" clause. I was flying through this cloud and suddenly saw pine trees. In the clouds, yes, inside the clouds, if you can believe it. I said, "hey, what are those pine trees doing way up here in the clouds?" My passenger was not nearly as impressed as I was by the strange phenomenon. Long story short, and a couple of Gs later, I cleared the ridge. Flight time: 00:47:06 Race Time: 00:47:06 Fuel Consumed: 135 LBS http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=cpWZLHIOp2jNpY41stRSybFgLwY

When my Dad brought home his new Buick in 1952, it had wire bumper "feelers" that would warn as you approached the curb. Maybe Cessna should fit its twins with such "feelers" for poor visibility landings?:icon_eek:

Whoohoo, drinks on Willy! I had a fun filled flight to Yellowstone, Bozeman, Gallatin. For the first time I got some stinko weather to play in too. Here's some kodaks of the flight:

Great find thanks a lot!

KTVL to KSQL.

At KTVL. Flight Time: 00:15:21 Fuel Consumed: 29.9 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=JnzvbhSVgSTTJPrcyu1cV3R5a3w

Headed south to Jackson Hole (KJAC)

4SD over to KTVL Lake Tahoe.

Hehe. Good question Terry, let's investigate... Quite simple, you would start up the impulse engines at .75 power and using both the shields and tractor beam, create a low pressure damping field around the lower hull. This would in effect, neutralize the Earth's gravity and allow the ship to gain altitude. Once sufficient height had been attained, the ship could have escaped the atmosphere under normal impulse power.

Well done, Austin. Great snaps along the way.

Safely into San Carlos. Next, Top of the Mark. Wonder what they are serving at 10:00am... Maybe a quick stop at the Sky Kitchen first. Then to pick up the tab at the pilots' corner of the bar. Flight Time: 00:35:21 Race Time: 00:35:21 Fuel: 105.0 http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=tj9TBmXFL3pVswd50RFmRl5zTlE

Finally, San Francisco. (O68-KSQL)

Down safe at KBZN. Flight Time: 01:06:05 Race Time: 01:06:06 Fuel Consumed: 193 LBS http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=GiHe3tuEkpAdXPvGc4K6FiyOsuk

Lots of fun flying the Tioga Pass. (Busted altitude for a couple of minutes while weaving around.) The Yosemite Valley is pretty impressive, even if you have time for only a passing glance. Then lost a few minutes finding Mariposa in the haze. Flight Time: 00:21:50 Race Time: 00:21:50 Fuel: 50.00 http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=AX1KEMN9lFs3381LmXJg6Tf0

Baragouin, I moved your mystery float plane to it's own thread below. Thanks.

Baragouin is asking for assistance, thanks.

Michael McDonald is one of my favorite artists! NC

Tioga Pass and Yosemite. O24-O68.

Had to look up Hoary Old Chestnut. Had never seen it before. NC

I would figure that it was another confirmation that first impressions are very often wrong... :) Off to Gallatin (KBZN)

Many thanks BC! Great little helo. Bill

Thanks buddy! Running out of time for the next to entries .... we'll se how things develop. Cheers,

Thanks for the heads up Francois! Good to hear. Bill

Awesome graphics and scenery.
