This is it, made it! Did my last two flights: Juneau - Boise - Wichita. Almost a month worth of flying, around parts of the US, across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in the CJ1. I explored the Mediterranean, practiced my heavy flying with a 747 from Dubai to Hong Kong, and now it's done. I've made it back to where it all began, my home and the home of Cessna - Wichita, Kansas.

Juneau left me with some GORGEOUS scenery, and rain

Sun rising through the clouds

A sea of clouds and mountains as the sun shows the way

Seconds from a perfect landing in Boise...all this flying has made me darn good at flying the CJ1 Wink

Of course, Kansas greets me with snow, high shearing gusting winds, and low visibility

Short final, strong crosswind, runway in sight

Crossing the road I take home from work. My office is by the nosewheel, at that stoplight

It was a bumpy approach, but a reasonable landing. Here she is, taking a well earned rest at the Citation Service Center (a beautiful, enormous building in real life btw)

Hope you've all enjoyed. This completes this trip. Next, I will fly a Citation Mustang as far South as I can and back

Comments welcome!

........#1 is a masterpiece Cool

Could I get a high res please???

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Well done great to see that Citation back home at ICT. I fly just up the road at KTOP flown to ICT and your right that Citation Service Center is massive. Always a great sight to see all those birds out front though.
