Hello PP, All of my other entries are correct, but I have not flown Flagstaff Pulliam AZ (KFLG) to Needles CA (KEED) yet so there is an extra V0 in my listing. Hope you have a crystal ball and I can match your prediction though! Thanks again for all you do to moderate and keep track of everything. Much Appreciated!

PhrogPhlyer Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Leg 7 V5 (0E0 to KGUO) & 8 V3 (KGUO to KFLG) Wind and turbulence the whole day, this was a wild ride. Departing Moriarty, went as far west as I could on RW 8/26, had plenty of fuel for the long taxi. Albuquerque to the South, teeth rattling, bone jarring turbulence. One minute behind already. Rapidly rising terrain, climbed to 10,000 ft. This has to be Mount Taylor. Coming up on Gallup, fighting strong headwinds, bouncing around to much to calculate ground speed with E6B. Definitely behind on time. Overtop of Gallup, I-40, Rt. 118 and the RR, must be the right direction. Glad I have my Phillips 66 road map. V5. Will have to see if can do better enroute to Flagstaff. Sand dunes, that's Petrified Forrest National Park. 55 miles to Flagstaff. Weather getting hazy and still a good amount of turbulence. Road map says the RR goes to Flagstaff. Flagstaff in sight, can't wait to get on the ground. On the ground at Flagstaff. I've got a blade or two out of track from the turbulence, so still bouncing around a bit even on the ground. Hope the A&P knows how to hand track rotors, if not, he/she's in for a quick lesson. Managed to make up some time, but still V3 on this leg. Will wait for a less windy day to finish the last two legs. 2 Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.

Buck Turgidson Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Leg 10 and finish. V3 I wanted to overfly Big Bear but plotted a course around the MOA and Restricted areas just to be sure. Departing Needles Hesperia airport and lake Arrowhead. Eustace got into the single malt one of the nuns stowed and was no help at all. Trimmed out and left for a quick trip to the relief tube. When I put the HMD back on the Boo was only slightly off course but the stopwatch reset! Well, that will take the pressure off. Literally and figuratively! Or littoral(y) for Phrog. 8900 foot peak in sheep shagger wilderness area just off V214. Big turbulence as I start dropping into the valley. Contact CTR to cross. San Jacinto off in the distance Downtown. Did not get cleared straight in so I lost about a minute. Just pulling flare now. Great trip! My favorite little Cub just pulled up as I was shutting down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
