Bayou to Puget Sound via Vegas Baby

Little Bird ...1993 Gates Lear 35

In a word, home. Back in November of 2015 I started this adventure. Basically I was bored with routine and longed for new.

After flying countless hours of single and multi reciprocal engine aircraft, rotor wing, floats and amphibians I decided my artistic expression of landing skills could use a challenge …speed. Meeting this challenge offered me a world of choices ...pun intended.

The choices I made, the lessons that were learned can all be found between the lines of this trip journal starting with ‘Welcome Aboard’. There have been many.

 

Using Dovetail Games version of Microsoft’s Flight Simulator X was our main choice. It showed us wonderful simulations of the places we visited …as wonderful as a 32 bite Windows XP program can offer. It was all the inspiration we needed to find pictures, people, art and links related to those places so that we may enjoy the real world images of the simulated places we’d traveled to.

From Slidell (KASD) we flew to Albuquerque NM (KABQ). Our 1993 Gates Learjet really loves fuel. So do all real life hot rods. We have a bg (baby girl) that lives just outside Albuquerque. It’s a natural place for us to stop and “top off”.

KVGT Final

 

KVGT in North Las Vegas is such a short hop from Albuquerque that Little Birds engines barely got warmed up but its home to another bg and gbg’s (grand baby girls).

Flying from KVGT to KPWT is once again …routine. Simulation or not it was gratifying to see Mt. Rainer as we entered SEA airspace.

 

 

It’s also gratifying to know this has been entertaining for more than just Linda and I. We thank those of you who’ve joined us on this adventure. If you’re a sim pilot …fly some of the routes, they’re spectacular. Thanks DTG (Dovetail Games) …your stuff performed flawlessly.

 Thank you, see you next time.  Scott & Linda
