1425 hours. There was a malfunction in the wheel wells, and some sparks resulted, however there were no major problems indicated by my controls so we're off. Here I am after take-off from Long Beach, California.

Navigation on this one was pretty easy. This led to a very relaxing flight. We leveled of at FL255 and made a few adjustments to our heading of about 270.

The sun was nice and high, I unbuttoned my sleeves and got a pretty nice tan up there.

We cleared the mountain ranges outside of Los Angeles and the land got MUCH farther away REALLY fast.

I turned off the seatbelt signs and put my feet up for the hour and fifteen-minute cruise.

,,,part 2 coming.
