    2:35 that’s gotta be the furthest from an airport I’ve ever heard anybody self announce. 29 miles and setting up for a base!

      I do that sometimes when my ground speed is 250+ and you are three or four minutes from the runway it’s about time not just distance when there is traffic.

    is it my misperception or do not allow your copilot to get stick time? It seems you always do the takeoffs/landings. True? False?

  • @cageordie
    @cageordie 3 года назад

    Nice flight, except that bit in the middle. Liberal reminds me of why I don't live in the flyover states. As soon as you got low I wanted to leave. Just a runway and a few hangers in the middle of endless nothing. Amusing to see the primary displays are old CRT technology. Nobody would ever have known in the past because your eye doesn't see that. Modern digital cameras catch some curious effects.
