This flight took me from Maimi to New Orleans, a four hour flight around the coast.  I decided on 10 pics this time because more interesting things happened on this flight.

Leaving Maimi early in the morning.
...

Bounding a MD-80, for those who didn't see my first post, I got him in my sights and zoomed past.
...

Flying past Tampa sometime after 7 am.
...

somewhere in the south, don't know where.
...

I didn't notice that I had run my main tank dry until the engine sputtered and died.
...

I had to stop at this small, and I mean small, airport for gas.
...

I finally made it to New Orleans!  The Big Easy...
...

What I believe is a 737 was on a long final when I turn on final.  @&*% this guy I was cleared number 1 for landing.
...

Thankfully the tower told the heavy to go around, otherwise we both would have ended up a greese spot on the runway.  I put the 47 down for a perfect 3-point landing.
...

Taxi to parking and shut her down.  Time to enjoy the Big Easy.
...

Next it'll be off to Houston.

Bones:

The next flight is pretty interesting too.  Head out in an early morning rain storm, bounce a Piper Cherokee, and fly though a hole in a building in Houston.  You'll have to see the pics for that last one.  As for the 3-pointer, I think that was just luck.

Cherokee:

Lol, the AI really do think they're something special don't they?   Smiley
