KFAR - Fort Wayne.
Quite a long hop catching up around 600nm. The Duke just ate up the miles. Weather on route was perfect until KFWA, complete white out broke at 2000ft. RNAV is making me lazy,...
KSUX - KFAR.
Situation Normal regarding weather.... I am contemplating changing the season to summer just so I can see the countryside for once.
I tried to join for the online flight, no matter...
KMKC - KDSM.
I've decided to give the Carvair another chance. It flies at a snails pace compared to the Dc-6, but with a nose the size of a Barn I shouldn't be surprised.
...
KGRI - KMKC
Arrived on Rnav Runway 03, it looked smaller and smaller the closer I got had to use prop reverse to pull the 6 up before the end of the runway. I am much preferring this weather to...

Rawlins - Greybull.
Weather.... have been struggling with weather since we left California. Plenty of cloud cover, Freezing carb temps and ice to deal with. Early morning flight out of Rawlins.
...
Aspen - Rawlins.
Splashed out on the Flight Replicas Dc-4... purely for the Carvair. The problem is coming from the PMDG Dc-6 your standards are set very very high. No way to control oil temp,...

Direct flight into Yellowstone to catch up and on to Boise. I am really missing that California weather, very cold and white out.

CYYJ - KMWH: A late departure after flying all day, get thereitis was kicking in. 0 visibility into Grant County, this was a hair raising non precision approach. I caught the runway lights at the...
KPDX- CYYJ: I Wondered why mid flight my FPS dropped off (solid cloud layer from fl020 to fl110) until I saw Mt Rainier in the distance. Seattle not to kind on the ol FPS. Visibility into CYYJ was...
KMFR - FPDX: Hauled 28,000lbs of freight up to KPDX in a 6A freighter that I swapped my 6B for. Flew in between 2 cloud layers between fl080 and fl100. Weather hasn't been kind up the north west,...
Would love to, unfortunately 9pm CST works out to be 11am AEST. I will have a try this Saturday (Fri pm us time) for the group flight. Its been about 5 years... maybe more have to remember how to do...
Feeling lazy, I elected for an easy flight tonight with lots of autopilot and Lnav.
KEKO - KAHC - KMFR
Absolutely appalling visibility into KMFR, an ILS approach into RW14 was made... and I may...
Obtained permission from the base commander to have my Dc-6 flown up. Very early morning Departure for KEKO.

Like a street racer on a Friday night I felt the need to show up the locals... mines faster than yours. A mach 2 run up to 83,000 feet and glided back to the runway at groom lake for a brake...
I approached Groom Lake low and fast. Aiming for a high speed run down the main runway... hope I didn't break too many windows.

KFAT-AR51.
I didn't like my chances flying into Groom Lake in a Dc-6. I figured my best chance was to blend in...
I called in a favor from Thunder City.

In LAX I was able to get myself back in a DC-6. A Late afternoon flight up back up to Fresno.

Fresno- LAX
I came across HARS (an Australian aircraft restoration society likes the CAF) trying to get this B-29 back to Australia from the Mojave. The FAA wouldn't let them fly it out, they...
In San Fran I parted ways with Seaboard World Airlines and picked up a cheap BE60T Royal Duke Turbine, It was going for a steal as it is due a major overhaul. I figured I can still wring some life...
