Piece of cake... 105.2 nm 00:36:35 102.0 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=AlEGwaGXUDdnyEdgEtH0wxlFnE

Just as well to finish this off... what else can go wrong?

Just a short simple flight.. what could go wrong? Got lost in the mountains, had to break the soft ceiling to jump a ridge and ended up taking the long way around to the airport... 51.8 nm 00:28:51 59.5 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=1qIMOLhi8urDFlvdm3P6R6QA

About wore out from moving my daughter today and this evening, but I'm wanting to wrap this up..

Safe at Reno. Lot of headwind and a bit of a grind through the desert though. Not the most enjoyable segment of the circuit. Flight Time: 01:16:01 Fuel Consumed: 166.6 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=O62KsdljOZA0QIGWFJKJoQjpB8

Up next, L06 to 4SD Reno.

Made it to O24. Good place to stop for the night. 139.3 nm 00:59:35 133.6 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=bdV7WQH677hJWRcYl2hBfsTK3Y

Made it to Furnace Creek 87.6 nm 00:31:44 66.8 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=HR3iiDLpRxlVUGEPO6JSKAxAQ

On to Death Valley in the Cessna Death Machine...

I've heard that the new Gilligan's Island will be about the castaways fighting off the zombie apocalypse with coconuts and bamboo sticks....

Ok, full disclosure: I like Star Trek (the old series). I understand the frustrations of the followers of the “religious text”. My frustrations with these movies, although minor in the “grand scheme of things”, isn't about Star Trek in particular. It's all these “re-makes” that piggy-back on a title, but have almost nothing in common with the title upon which they're “piggy-backing”. So now Snow White is some sort of knife wielding vampire huntress? I can't wait for the Gilligan's Island movie remake... I'll probably watch the new "Star Trek" movie, because I like adventure films, more or less. But "Star Trek", it isn't. They should call it "Space Awesomeness" and let it stand on it's own. :icon_lol:

Rgr. Shocking and sad news. RIP DT.

Yep :)

PRB should be all over this one...

I think it was a mockup Mike. Here is the only other photo I have- Maybe Wout has something?

Didn't take an article for me to know Bill is a great person.....already knew that! :-)

Otto was very well behaved this time. I guess our "come to Jesus" moment worked out in my favor... 147.6 nm 00:55:09 121.5 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=Ayk2L8KOM76V5FqwdaqczywYrBE

Heading on to Lost Wages. Hope otto behaves....

Nice flight to Valle although otto went nuts and I had to break out the sharp stick as the CDM climbed past 10,000 breaking the soft ceiling. Still not sure what happened, but I stepped away for a few seconds and when I came back, the aircraft was in a hard right bank. I rolled it back to the left hard and as I did it went into a steep climb breaking 10k before I had a chance to grasp what was going on. Max altitude reached was 10338 ft before I got it to start going back down. I hand flew it the rest of the way into Valle.. 83.7 nm 00:32:04 66.6 lbs 5 min Valle penalty for bypassing KGCN http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=aTqPdYO1emSr3h2cWnepGA5x6fQ

Going to take the Valle penalty.....

Landed just ahead of the real life storms bearing down. Eek! At L06. Flight Time: 00:30:54 Fuel Consumed: 57.3 lbs http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=k2xMb6KDUjtafDtT91HTrJ348
