Holding short of 22R for takeoff.  Weather is great, warm, a slight breeze...Should be a smooth flight.

Lifting off.

Climbing to 32,000.

So much for a smooth flight.  Though the wind is not all that strong the turbulence is horrendous.  Also had a small electrical problem about 15 minutes out. We DID make it down safely though. (I really need to uninstall a mesh i installed awhile back.  My entire Midwest is nothing but white with a few specs of color >:( )

Taxiing in a few minutes ahead of schedule.

I will be heading towards my hometown next.  Sometime this week I fly into Fort Wayne  ;)

Thanks :)

Turbulence is always a problem.  All was smooth till i dropped below 5k then all went to hell.  Only a 10 knot crosswind but the turbulence was strong and sharp.  Made for a nasty aproch.  Used real world weather and updated it 75 miles out.  Probly wouldnt want to be on the real flight 4716 :P
