It wasn’t too bad initially. We headed towards Jicarilla Airport and the north/south valley that ends near Albuquerque starts there. I had the corset all the way in and was doing 65-70 mph ground speed.
A nice view of 10678 ft Sandia Crest, near Albuquerque, NM. I hadn't been to this point and taken in this view for over 25 years, back when I flew hanggliders here.
We followed the Rio Grande through Albuquerque, skirting the Class C ring. Over Coralles, I saw this huge corn maze. We landed at Belen and the trip was complete. That was a good long trip.
