You've still got:

"...ready to depart by 00:00 zulu."

You mean 2300hrs zulu, right?

I can't get on right now, but I'm looking at the Live Map and doing some calculations. At your current pace, you guys are looking at about 2 hours more of flying time left, plus ground work. So you'll probably be sipping cocktails with Tony Stark at his Santa Barbara beach house by the time I get on (shortly after 10pm EST).... but we'll see.

Anyway, I'm very jealous (I love this sort of thing), but hope y'all have fun. Oh, and watch out for all the dead fish at the Salton Sea.

I'm guessing closer to 2.5 more hours. You can get in on the last couple I bet. Oh and I'm sipping on a margarita right now - - don't tell the FAA.

I'm super sorry, Lance, but I'm not going to be able to join tonight. I won't get the computer (that runs my sim) for at least another 90 or so mins (family of 5!). I feel bad about it, since you came for mine last night.

Anyway, looks like you guys had a blast. I was following you on the map most of the time and studying the Sectional. Those are some pretty neat, way out air strips. Going to have to check them out some time.

Gonna turn in now :cry:

Safe travels through the Bravo!
