djfierce Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 ...but returning to SOCAL with a pretty nice bird! Hey, look what I found! I didn't mean to come back here, as I had no idea it was on the way. Finalizing descent and gearing up for RWY 27 per the ATIS. Yet after getting clearance, I was informed it was runway 9. The tower did not accept my complaint. But we must adjust to curveballs, and the TBM is such a honey that I didn't mind having to change my plans. - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djfierce Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Very nice set James! I don't understand those red lights either. Those are warning lights on wind turbines. They sit in a literal wind tunnel in between Mt. San Jacinto and Mt. San Bernardino. I've been through there when the wind literally knocked cars and semis of the road. Very interesting place. - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Nice shots! I can well remember when first arriving in "Lost Wages" in the 60's the cabbies always were friendly and took you right away to your destination. Though on the first trip there I was suprised to see all the slot machines on the seat backs which took all amounts of change. However when leaving "Lost Wages" before heading to the airport the cabbies always demanded full fare plus tip in cash before you even boarded the cab. Then once aboard they suggested you might want to "change your luck" by gambling your leftover change on the seat back slots! :eek: Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Don't be a stranger! :D Those are great stories about LAS, as honestly, I wouldn't doubt them at all. The one time I visited I noted that the only place without machines was usually the bathroom. - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
