(picture coming soon)

Welcome to the "Through the Rockies" Hops - Brought to you by Ramos!

This will be a series of Hops, will last 1 to 1.5 Hours, landing at up to 4 airports.

the entire Hop Route will start in Northern Mexico in Chihuahua, Into New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, then Into Canada at Alberta .

Flight Times: 11:00 AM MDT (GMT -7 | 6:00pm GMT) On Saturday's Not Conflicting with other Hops. Start Date TBD.

Aircraft: Any Propeller or Turbo Prop *Pressurized* that handles less than 6 passengers. aircraft with Durable Wheels and frame would be a good idea. I'll be Flying the Carenado Cessna U206II Stationair.

I'm going to be on Teamspeak for these journey's and you are welcome to join me, but it's not required. It is encouraged however as heading/altitude information changes, as well as general info.

any questions/suggestions and such let me know.

Ramos

Cool, stop by on your way through my neck of the woods....

i'm still creating the flight plan & picture. i'l probably have a ready date this weekend. it will probably start next month, i have to make sure im not conflicting with other hops happening that hour.

Ramos

"Teamspeak" may be a problem for any Tour enthusiasts not addicted to Teamspeak?... ..!

Otherwise the journey route looks very interesting... ...!

Preliminary data: (v1.0.2)

I may be moving the route left when we reach Alberta

longest hop: 192nm between 6V6-00V (may add airport to break it up)

when we start the hop, we go as far as the majority wants to, stop at last airport, record that as continuation for next hop. makes it more flexible to our hop times.

Looking at the routes, I take it that we are "jumping" from one State to the next, for each hop?
-somewhat, I tried for a bit of distance between airports for view time.

(The "start" airfields are not in sequence with the last airfield?.....
To complete the Tour in hourly Hops, in strict sequence throughout the route, would take Months to complete the Tour?)
-havent figured out timings yet, of if i'll create a hop structure..

Paul...G-BPLF....default Beech Baron 58.... ....!
-wise choice

P.S. Do we have to bring our own Beer, or is it available, free, at each end location.?.. ...?
-I'll make some arrangements with the local deer on the runway

P.P.S....saved the Flight Plan and Airfield data in a Folder..."Ramos Rocky Tour"....highly appropriate!...... ...!!
-agreed
