Many clouds on this run. Fairly rough for most of it. But near the end, was some of the roughest air I have been in. Amazing when getting down to 1000ft and into the smoother air, I was right on the button, navigation wise.
Warming up at Auki.
Up at 15000ft.
Parked on Santa Ana.
Excellent return trip with splendid photos along the way. That Curtiss Hawk is a characterful choice.
