Also planning on flying, but may be late.

Just over an hour till the fly-in. If anyone running X-Plane would like the scenery I put together for KIZA Santa Ynez (our 1st destination before heading to Lompoc), feel free to PM me and I'll send it to you. I currently don't have a server for people to download it from but can quickly send it via email.

Another great flight!

The idea of starting the Flight-In at 7.30PM EST (instead of 7pm) has been discussed. What do you guys think? I want to be sure that we are all OK before changing the future schedule.

Missed it guys... had to go to Metro PCS for my wife's phone problems. 7:30 PM EST sounds good. See you next time. I am sure you had a great time as always. Cheers, AJ

Nice screenshots yet again Alex (although the ones you labeled KLPC were actually at KIZA).

Fun flight overall, although I somehow got the wrong weather at Santa Ynez. XP AWOS said winds were light and variable, yet I found myself landing rwy 8 with a hefty tail wind, necessitating a go around.

I often find myself getting behind the airplane at some point when flying faster, more complex birds like the Mooney; I need to break out of my 172/Archer shell more often...

[TexFly]

Good catch! I fixed the descriptions.

Did you see your Mooney sunk in the dirt? Not sure why at KTOA everything was ok....

[Jeff N]

Yeah that looks pretty funny, almost like I'm sinking in quicksand. I don't know why the elevation and taxiways are off for that airport but not Torrance. I always have "runways follow contours" turned off.

Everything looked fine from my end, other than Alex being halfway parked in a closed hangar at KIZA

My Torrance screenshots are a mess so I won't bother posting them.
