Flight to Las Vegas Pirep -- Part I
Thats a nice looking FBO at Dalhart.
The owner used to keep his pristine V-tailed Bonanza inside the living room area, on a specially tiled circular presentation area. That's the way it was when we flew into Dalhart a few years ago. Since then the old fella has lost his medical, and sold his beautiful bird. :-( Too bad about the Grand Canyon...I've had better views of it from the air flying commercial!  Ah, well, Mary, the kids and I spent two hours flying over the canyon, up and down the VFR corridors, back in '04. Nothing could compare to that... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Flight to Las Vegas Pirep -- Part I
Then, it was off once again into the high density altitude. With St.
John's sitting over a mile high, the Aztec rolled a bit longer than normal, but -- even at max gross -- those two 250 hp Lycoming IO-540s effortlessly pulled us skyward. Soon, New Mexico -- yesterdays intended destination -- was sliding beneath us. Santa Fe looked lovely as we droned ever Westward, Going east to west, New Mexico generally comes before Arizona ;-) --- Ken Reed N9124X

us. Santa Fe looked lovely as we droned ever Westward, Going east to west, New Mexico generally comes before Arizona ;-) Crap, Ken, I proof-read that thing five times, and never caught that error! And I'm the one that's always bitchin' about the lack of geography in the schools today, too... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
