Fun flight. I was on the 022 radial into KPGA, which is the direct course from KCNY. But soon there appeared giant mountains along that path, so I made the VOR gauge steer me into KPGA on the 025 radial, which got me a bit south east of the direct track, and missed the big hills. Starting to "get" how to use VOR. Very cool.

After a night of wild debauchery, we're off to Furnace Creek (L06). Isn't that a great name for an airport in Death Valley?

[PRB]

Hmm. Next stop is Mariposa Yosemite. That's over the top of The Wall of the Sierra Nevada, which is 13000 feet high. I ain't no good at number ciphering, but I think I have to come up with 3000 feet of granite to get through somehow. Off to study my National Geographic map...

Hint: The operative word is passes.

[Great Ozzie]

Hint: The operative word is passes.

Here... try this one...

[PRB]

Passes! Dang, I knew there had to be a secret to this sort of thing. I was on my way south to cross over the Tehachapi Pass, all the way down around Bakersfield, but when I got to somewhere around Kings Canyon park, the hills were just low enough to get through. I think I should have went north instead... Oh well, there was pretty scenery to look at...

I reflew that one bout 20 times, and finally found a pass, or several, to get thru under 10000ft.

[Great Ozzie]

(:-O

[PRB]

Yeah, that was about how I felt, hehe. Off to complete the final leg, across the San Joe-a-quin Valley, my old "stomping grounds"...

[PRB]

Done!

Congrats Paul!

Congrats Paul. :ernae:

[MM]

That's bringing home the Cessna!

[Great Ozzie]

Yeah, that was about how I felt, hehe.

Sorry (well sorta ) about making that face out of your Duenna (couldn't 'hep mysef'). I just thought it hilarious... but after posting I thought to myself that you might think I was teasing you about the route.


Well CG Paul... Looks like you took first in the Silver -- I first in the Gold and Willy first in the Bronze... we are basing this (the winning stuff) off of fuel usage, right?
