[Sun Feb 13] lead-up to the Canyon

[Keith Smith]

Time: 5:30pm PST
Origin: KNLC (Lemoore NAS)
Destination: KGCN
Aircraft type: anything capable of 550kts over the ground at low level, I'll be flying the stock F-4 Phantom, connected as an F-14
Route: Priest VOR (ROM), along VR-1257, VR-1265, VR-1265 to Wheaton Springs, which is THIS ROUTE. Don't worry, all you have to do is follow the plane ahead of you, no planning required for the military training route.

Upon reaching Wheaton Springs, I'll say buh bye to the drones, climb to 17.5k and head to KGCN.

Comms: NLC tower will be closed, so will announce on the CTAF (tower freq) 128.30, and then 123.45 for full duplex comms enroute.

Notes: I'll be departing KNLC rwy 32R behind one of the BEEF drones that leaves fairly regularly (they're not yet documented in the drone list). Stock F4 Phantom, low burner, all ordinance removed, full tanks.

Count me in.

[David Carman]

You may have ATC departing KNLC...

[Keith Smith]

In that case, we'll meet on ground, and will depart separately to the drones, then get vectors to join the next BEEF flight that departs after us.
