Its that time again! Time for another wild and crazy adventure!!
For this adventure I will be encircling the USA. There are lots of sites that I want to see and Simv members local airstrips that I want to visit.

So I packed up the Baron once again and kissed the wife and kid good-bye, and I was off...

For the first leg I left my hometown of Calgary, Alberta and headed to Spokane Washington. I want to get to the west coast and follow it southward....

Current Location...

Route info for this leg.

Packed up all my supplies and did a final check...warmed up the engines and entered my flight plan into the GPS...

After getting clearance for takeoff, I lifted off and noticed all my family and friends waving good-bye! I tipped my wings in acknowledgment and headed south!

Flying over the northern tip of Montana....nice moutains!

On final into Spokane, the winds were crazy! There was a 50 knt crosswind...I am still trying to figure out why ATC wanted me to land on this runway...but I figured it was a good reminder for me on crosswind landing....

Managed to get her down in one piece...got it parked and secured and headed out for a celebratory drink for a successful first leg!

Thanks for watching! Comments/Suggestions always welcome!

Hiya Dean!
Hope you packed allot of Captain Morgans! Grin

At least here in the states, you know when the sun rises and sets................it's just how late you stay up! Wink

I am sure you won't soon forget that!

Good luck and I see you will be approaching me on Long Island from the South! We will make arrangement when you get closer to my house. I'm sure the wife and kids won't mind me building a fire out back while you and I "fire walk"!! Grin
