RTW Leg 2 - Sedona to Cliff dwellers lodge

[gusto]

if you ever visit Arizona make sure to check out the Grand Canyon



leaving Sedona bright and early



i have a feeling today's going to be a fun flight





we reach the mogollon rim...Mt. Humphrey is on the horizon, it's the highest point in Arizona





arrive at the canyon after a short flight across the high desert plateau



decide to drop down for some free flight



scary stuff kids, flying by the seat of your pants...having the topo feature on my gps turned on helps



flying through the lower canyon just above the Colorado river




check out my last leg http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?t=189382

my setup



decide to head out to my destination











fly over a hawk...i saw about seven flying the thermals, if you're real lucky you'll spot a California condor



spot Cliff dwellers lodge airport...it's a really narrow dirt runway, just right of the highway





time for a cold one

Wow, awesome Stuff again! Beautiful Flight and a lot of Pictures for such an short Leg! I really like the one with the Eagle and the Canyon flying!

Are you taking all Legs that short? If so I think the Tour will last forever!

yeah it was only about 130 nm...i'll have a few legs that i'll test out the mooneys range which is about 1200 nm...i'm trying to get a good mix of interesting sights along with difficult airports and i'll throw in an easter egg once in awhile...thanks again for the posting tip
