[Dec 19, 1830mst] KTUS KLAX
Posted: Thu Dec 16, 2010 7:38 pm
I gave it some thought about a good interactive flight and I came up with this for Sunday night
POTUS (president of the United States) is going to fly from Tucson International (KTUS) to Los Angeles (KLAX) on Monday night, and needs fighter escorts for the trip. (or you can fly the VP in a second heavy aircraft.)
Flight time approx 1.5 hours
Join up online at 1830mst Tucson Time (0130 zulu I think it is)
Wheels up by 1900mst
Radio Frequency: Start @ KTUS on 123.45
Route of flight: KTUS to Gila Bend VOR to Vicko to Blythe VOR to Palm Springs to Riverside VOR to KLAX rwy25L
This route is easiest if you use an IFR map
Altitude 26k
Speed 400kts
This is a nice instrument flight in the dark over remote terrain with very few visual cues using IFR airways and VORs for navigation. All pilots are welcome to join, either at KTUS or enroute.
