We did visit the diner the last time we went and definitely agree it's very good. Ah, I didn't know they had hats, I do like me a good hat. Thanks for letting us know GN!
This is so true Jerry. We recently went into the Central Valley but we were IFR. The pressure changes were so drastic though that almost right over Gorman VOR, our altitude just started dropping slowly 300 feet. We were at 10k, about to head into a cloud and I couldn't figure out what was happening. Until I saw on one side, pressure was 29.88 and on the other side it was 30.16. First time experiencing that. Pretty crazy. That Grapevine Pass brings some surprises for sure.🥴
@ not sure. It’s kind of funny I don’t really plan trips out till I get there. I’ve hitch hiked, biked, and slept in the plane. It’s actually kind of cool just going somewhere and seeing where it takes you once there. My best trips are ones I’ve flown to and walked somewhere along a highway or road after flying to that place. It’s kind of surreal. Then hitchhiking makes it so much cooler.
When teaching in the C-140 at Monte Vista Colorado at 7600' summers while my wife was at Adams State, I would tell my students, "If pulling back on the yoke didn't get the climb they expected, try pushing a bit. Down drainage egress is always a major consideration in the high desert and mountains. Since I lean carburetor engines to max RPM before takeoff anywhere, losing the extra 300 RPM when high and hot is part of the checklist. Finally, as an old crop duster, the basic level in low ground effect until something forces pitch up is default for me. We don't need the extra free ground effect energy... until we need it. Too late then if it is not default.
That was such a great story Jimmy. Funny, we are surrounded by mountains here in socal but I definitely consider myself a flatlander pilot. I heard Colorado has some of the best high airport flying and you've definitely exemplified that. Thanks so much for sharing that story!
@@outsidethecockpit Sling Tsi, experimental, we were within the w/b envelope, definitely felt the difference on the climb out and prepared to box climb if need to, but that turbo t/o definitely made a huge difference
@@redeyerabbittubing Wow, I've heard really good things about those Sling Tsi aircrafts. Maybe one day we'll enjoy the fruits of the turbo, but for now, we'll just make friends that have a turbo plane🤣 Congrats on yours though!
Wow....absolutely amazing shots on departure - Beautiful!!
Thanks Socal! Yeah this time of year is pretty spectacular😊
Magnificent departure view, with perfect lighting! 😍
@@Jeff_The_Weatherman Thanks Jeff! 🙏
They have a very good diner. Also got a hat and coffee mug next door to commemorate the visit.

Beautiful departure footage!
Thanks Steve! I wish we could take majority of the credit, but you could film Big Bear with a flip phone camera and it would still be stunning😂
Amazing views up there.
You know it😄 Can't wait to hear about it when you fly back up there!
Never underestimate your sight of sight, this happened to me in KBFL, after crossing Gorman VOR - the visibility dropped pretty good.

Love it! I’m headed there in 2 weeks and needed this! Thanks again! ❤🙏🏼
That's awesome Harold! You going for a quick visit or spending the night?

@@RaceMentally Holy crap. That's freaking amazing. Man, you need your own youtube channel on your journeys. I would definitely watch that!
Thanks for another awesome video!
Thank you for watching it Greg!

Nice video, rotax 915 turbo pilot, full fuel 4 adults summer mid day no problem :) lol
@@redeyerabbittubing The audacity 😂 …thats awesome, what kind of plane?
