We're doing a demo for the flight line side of a college aviation program this Wednesday. There will be another demo for the campus side in the near future.

The demo aircraft will be N1021M

Traffic is requested to either:
- fly in the pattern at SMO for the departing aircraft, and/or at LGB when the aircraft is arriving, or

- pick up an IFR departure out of SMO to any destination while the demo aircraft is on the ground frequency (so the demo aircraft can hear you)

- pick up IFR from SMO to LGB to create conflicting traffic for the demo aircraft. The TEC route is SMO SMO125R V64 SLI. Local IFR departure instructions out of SMO for pistons are: "fly runway heading until crossing the SMO 315 radial then turn right hdg 250 without delay, radar vectors SMO." Put the latter together with the former and you have the clearance to expect.

Thanks for any assistance!

Demo is starting shortly, they have just arrived.

That was cool to see all the traffic. I'm not ready for LGB yet or I'd help again, but it looks like they're getting there fast anyways. Sorry about the tail number coincidence. I didn't even realize it before I was on the ramp.

Colin, the similar table was not a bad thing at all (and it happens in real life relatively frequently).

Thanks to those that flew in the demo, much appreciated!

Keith,
Sorry about the first disconnect! I was getting a slide show for the first time with X-plane! That was not pleasant. By the time I got everything sorted it was time to get back to work! I tried to get in a few circuits at lunch!!! Don't tell my boss.
