This flight took me from Maimi to New Orleans, a four hour flight around the coast.  I decided on 10 pics this time because more interesting things happened on this flight.

Leaving Maimi early in the morning.
Image

Bounding a MD-80, for those who didn't see my first post, I got him in my sights and zoomed past.
Image

Flying past Tampa sometime after 7 am.
Image

somewhere in the south, don't know where.
Image

I didn't notice that I had run my main tank dry until the engine sputtered and died.
Image

I had to stop at this small, and I mean small, airport for gas.
Image

I finally made it to New Orleans!  The Big Easy...
Image

What I believe is a 737 was on a long final when I turn on final.  @&*% this guy I was cleared number 1 for landing.
Image

Thankfully the tower told the heavy to go around, otherwise we both would have ended up a greese spot on the runway.  I put the 47 down for a perfect 3-point landing.
Image

Taxi to parking and shut her down.  Time to enjoy the Big Easy.
Image

Next it'll be off to Houston.

Very nice!

Gotta love AI traffic though eh?! They think that they are the gods of the air or something...
