Default Dust Devil Dash - Tehachapi on Saturday September 7th

Yes, Nick...

Bailing out of the Tehachapi valley was very very challenging. Most pilots got down to 4000msl (2000agl)... and a few (5Z and Z9) recovered from around 1200 agl and 700agl within glide of the Honda Race track strip or Cantil fields. These are all 8-10 miles north of California City.

Still, very low heading up toward Inyokern and transitioning to the Sierras..

I'd love to hear more about Todd Schult's 1-26 flight. It must have had it's moments also.
