America / Los Angeles time

About to fly KSQL to KLAS via the Trona Gap. Nice day for it!

666 hours on the engine; auspicious for a mountain flight.

Landing a little airplane in Vegas is so dramatic; you fly south down the Strip.

At the Hi Sahara Oasis, America's worst gas station. $5/gal, rude employees. Only gas for miles.

Drone safety (Barstow Daggett airport pilot briefing room.)

Chatted with a CAP pilot flying a simulated Predator, N4974N, a C182 with a drone sensor package.

Chili burger with our Parisienne friend Evelyne at the world famous Bagdad Cafe in Newberry Springs on Route 66.

By determination of Homeland Security: elevated significant threat of terrorist attacks. At Barstow / Daggett airport

Hello, end of Route 66.
