Hi Frank. I think you meant "KTOA" and not "KTOR" (you can edit the subject line).

Just to confirm, did you mean this:

1. SNA to OXR (Coastal Route North Bravo transition)
2. OXR to TOA (Direct VNY VOR, then Hollywood Route South Bravo transition)
3. TOA to BUR (Mini Route North Bravo transition)

That is, something like this: http://skyvector.com/?ll=34.02201937554 ... :A.K2.KBUR

That's quite a challenge. I'm intellectually knackered after doing just one Bravo transition... can't imagine doing three in one flight! :o

As for tonight, I'd love to try challenge myself with this flight, but it may be a tad early for me. Will try my best though (may join at Oxnard).

Either way, I wish you a great flight.

Hi Cyrus,

Thanks for the find on the ICAO. I corrected it. Yes, it is a bit aggressive but I figure changing a touch and go to full stop wont be a big deal. Its gonna be a lot of frequency hopping for sure, but where better to correct mistakes. If I fly this even romotely successfully, the V3 will be a walk in the park. I decided to stick airports in between routes just incase I needed to full stop and re-collect my thoughts.

I be there tonight and look forward to flying it with you if you decide.

Regards,

Frank

Had an amazing flight with Cyrus and Keith thru the 3 Bravo routes. A bit nervous with Keith behind me. (Sorry I was cruising so slow keith... was giving myself a little extra free time to keep ahead.) Missed a couple of radio switches because of not switching COM1/COM2 button, but over all kept it safe, flew with head outside the cockpit, and most importantly, had a great time doing it!

Thanks again guys and of course, to the controllers that handled us. Super job!

Thank YOU, Frank. That was very intense, but definitely a lot of fun... and great practice.
