Ed, Hopefully we can meet up sometime you're out here! Dean

Ed at 15K you don't get much in terms of horsepower or manifold pressure - very very sad. This is where I would have loved a TC or Hot Shot. That altitude was also not required either, it was my choice. I had the time to creep up to 15K and decided to do so because A) with the lighting (snow...

Ed, It was a great trip. I spent a bunch of time planning and making sure I took routes that I was comfortable with and met my personal parameters. I fly around the Rockies and I know them and the weather behavior. I did enough research to learn about the CA mountains and respect them as...

Had a great time in CA last month. The Bay shore Tour/Flight was a busy time flight-wise with traffic and ATC - but - really worth it. After that though, went north to Healdsburg. Mazzocco Winery is about 2 blocks up the hill from the airport. So what better thing to do than fly up, walk to...

So a quick note about last month. I logged about 37 hours of flight time in 20-ish days and while I know I will hate seeing the credit card bills come in - it was an amazing collection of experiences. Day 1 - KCFO to KSPS - with a fuel stop in Page AZ - Over the Rockies is always fun. This...

Richard Klein is also in the DFW area and did a great job for me a while back. 214-704-2054 Dean

Congrats! What a great trip and memory! The first of many! Dean

Congrats!

Congrats and welcome!

Bob, Thanks for that. I hadn’t thought to much about fog and haze. I agree east of the Sierra’s is most likely the bumpiest. I’m leaning toward central to east side of the valley. Today. Not know what weather will be like in a month….lol Dean

Adam, KCFO (my airport) is about 7 miles from KDEN - so there is not an easy way for me to transition being so close to them. The same is true for a return to KCFO - so typically, when it's a $100 hamburger - they keep me out of the Bravo. I've not transitioned from the Bravo in a cross...

Joel - yes - the passes are for us "normal" people. LOL just kidding but - yes - 42w has a very lumber-ish climb above 11 or 12K. Dean

Yes - Rollins pass. If I can depart super early in the AM - I can usually get cleared into the Bravo, so I can climb crossing Denver, then it's easy and nice. If it's later, then I get to stay outside the Bravo, circle around north or south, then spiral climb up once I am nearer the pass and...

Adam - thanks - I appreciate your input. I really hadn't thought too much of the Bay Tour - so awesome you brought it up. Dean

Ok, so I'm starting to plan a bit of an adventure/trip. This will be a series of flights. If there is bad weather or a series of storms stacked up - I will be taking Southwest and not having my adventure. My dates are also not entirely set in stone, so I have some cushion to adjust for...

Ken, just because you and I are similar in our penny pinching….. I found my ladder on Craigslist for $25. Lol. I also bough a smaller 2 step version for $10 from Craigslist. Lol

Likewise! Had a great flight into Norman…. I look forward to meeting up again when we have more time 30 minutes northeast of Norman… approaching OKC

I happened to meet up with Nick on the ramp yesterday at Front Range/ Spaceport. Was great to meet him and see his HotShot up close!

welcome and good luck Dean

PCHansen, If you travel through KDEN - and have time - I am based at KCFO (Colorado Air & Spaceport) - about 8 miles away from Denver International. If we can time it/plan it - It would be a simple trip to have a sit and see how you fit. Dean
