Hi all,

It's been a while since I posted but had a flight tonight I had to share...

Flight from Colorado Centennial pretty uneventful except the approach into Steamboat Springs. Not one of my better landings.

But leaving Steamboat (after a nice dinner) was a wonderful event

In route the moon rise was spectacular

The approach into Cenetnnial was as good as I have ever done.

Home at last. Clear skys and 60F, Gotta love Colorado.

Happy flying all,
Scotch

Great shots! Have you tried Aspen in IFR conditions. Grin

I just flew it last night. Don't do the visual thought, try the VOR C approach. I had terrain warnings throughout the entire approach.... Grin

No, I have heard it's pritty harry. I have done it in day light in mild weather many times but have to try it IFR. Steamboat 32 was harry enough.

Hey Scotch, nice to see you are still among the living! Grin

I got that same moon last night! Wink

Big and bright and similar to the one outside my window!

Gotta love the real world of the sim!

Nice shots!

Neat, I live under the approach from the North. Be nice is someone could make the Tower for FS9. But I like flying from there. And the next time I am out I'll dip my wings.
