Whey-hey.... ...!

SOCAL...(Southern California).

Finally back home again... ...!!

This is a place that I have spent the past 10+ years daily! touring around, in my little Prop Planes, and populating most of the airfields/airstrips with my own scenery... 8-)...!

Looking forward to flying around some amazing scenery with all my Chums!... ...!

Only Fozz is going on this trip? :-?

Just to inform you, it clashes with the airshow tommorow evening. Bad timing, otherwise i would go, flying my A380 instead.

It probably won't clash with the airshow (and the tours have been going for a long time so its really the airshow clashing with the tour), we're usually finished by the start of the tour... I'll be there after the show.  8-)

You wont be very popular flying an Airbus A380..
..and trying to maintain an airspeed of 120 knots maximum... ...!
..and attempting to land on a very short, grass/gravel airstrip, in the middle of nowhere!

Try a Default Cessna 172/182S......!

..or if you REALLY want to go for the "Big Stuff", go for a Default Douglas DC-3.

There you go, so many choices of Default, General Aviation, Piston Prop Aircraft in your Hangar... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]. ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...!

P.S. I bet the mention of a lowly Cessna 172 piston prop has put you off the Tour?... .... ...!

P.P.S. I think the Airshow starts at 5PM GMT whereas the Tour starts at 8PM GMT, so there's a 3 hour interval in between.
I know the organisers of the various Airshows, etc, are well aware of the week-end Tours, and take great care to avoid clashing with them...(thanks Lads!)......!

Just as an extra warning, Chums....

Apart from the start KSEE, there are no more fuel pumps at any of the airfields/strips on the journey!!

So fill up your tanks, (and dump any un-necessary passengers at the start to lighten the load)... ...!

And NO Nav-Aids en-route, so it's all Map, compass, and GPS "stuff"....like in the good-old days!... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF... 8-)...!

I might join up for a bit as well.. Wife dependant....

I'll be there. Cessna 172 for a change.

Crash

A good turn-out for the first trip of the series... ...!

More next week!...
