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.
The wind picked up in the wrong direction, so I had to land between the trees at Mexican Mountain. This was not fun in the swirling thermally air.
I stayed just above the tops of the trees until I reached the wide spot at mid-field, then plopped down.
Never know what you might see on Destination YFT..!
Home made aircraft on the entrance to a property on the trip.. features turbine wind prop hub..dual cockpit wrought iron sheeting with headlights..!
Never seen one of these before. Ran into it at the Boulder City BFE hangar. Looks fast sitting still. Epic LT Experimental amateur build turboprop. 340 kts cruise speed, and climbs at 3000 fpm. Hokey smokes Bullwinkle!
Sunday morning. There was a little rain there and bad clouds were rotated. Czech guys huried to air and they want to fly home early. This one got a wind...
