Today Gordon Boettger flew his Kestrel on a 3TP flight of about
1800km
out of Minden, Nevada. A sunrise takeoff lead to the first turn
near
Chilcoot, then South to near Inyokern, back North to Susanville,
then
down to Palmdale. This flight handily beats my flight of last year
on
a similar route. Gordon had clearances to 23,000 and sometimes
28,000
feet and was mostly screaming along. Ah, just another day in the
Sierra Nevada wave.....
Congrats to Gordon, more details to come soon.
