Flight to Death Valley

We took the T210 down to Furnace Creek, Death Valley national park. Here's some snapshots in no particular order (LOL):

And a video of the landing:

"Full Boat" - flew to Lompoc, CA to watch the Falcon 9 launch

I flew down to Lompoc, CA on Sunday with Miles, and our friends the Baalmans (Gary, Laura, & their two kids) to watch the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch at Vandenberg AFB. This was the first Falcon 9 "return to land" on the west coast, and it went spectacularly. We found a great viewing spot along HWY 1 overlooking the launchpad.

Snapshots from N6779B

A few snapshots from my first couple of months of T210 ownership:

I bought a new aircraft!

I decided, at long last, it was time to upgrade to something capable of more speed, altitude, and carrying my family.   N6779B is a 1978 Cessna T210M.  It's turbocharged and capable of climbing into the flight levels, so it's much more suitable for getting in and out of the Sierras.  ;)

Adventures to come!
