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.

Excellent KTOA payware scenery can be found here, if anyone's interested:

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.
SCREENSHOTS:
At KTOA
Following Jeff to depart
During the flight (WOW!)
I believe that's KOXR on the left...
Getting closer to KIZA
At KIZA, Reeve just arrived

Expensive lawnmower! (ALT diff FSX/XP I wish we can fix it...NOTE: at KTOA we were ok...)

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...

Good catch! I fixed the descriptions.
Did you see your Mooney sunk in the dirt? Not sure why at KTOA everything was ok....

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.
