    Below are the Flight Analysis screen shots I was asked to submit. I provided the start and finish and a complete route.
    I have the ones that are in-between also. The last one is "Have One Red", my ride.

    To the committee members: if you require any other sort of validation, please let me know.
    I made screen shots of the FSrealWX lite window at the start, a point mid-way, and at the end of this flight leg.
