Hi James,
We (I any way) had fun, I was listening on RW and some (no names will be given) had difficulties to find the place.
I send a screenshot to show the weather conditions I had ....

Kind of a fun flight for me. Used ActiveSky so had cloud cover down toabout 15000'. Broke through *just* over the ridge that is in front of runway 30. Along with a 30 kt crosswind - made a challenging approach. Was flying a Lockheed Model 14 Twin prop. No problem putting it down safely.

I can only please one person per day. I pick me!

James,

I flew the route last night and really enjoyed the challenge. Arrived in a Lockheed Constellation which has
sloppy control, then the high altitude and higher approach
speed caused an overshoot and building crash (and I almost
never crash) <g>. So I flew it again in the King Air and
did better, still overshooting. This was a good destination, it's good to have a little variety. We should
try flying there again sometime.

Have been working insane amounts of overtime including
weekends.

Alan
