Acclaim flight from SoCal to NorCal

A short hop from Orange County (KSNA) to Concord Buchanan Field (KCCR):

 

 

Here's the flight track:

Got a couple of rookie questions. The tops of the hills seemed close. I assume you VFR and you choose the altitude? Were you IFR and assigned the altitude?

That's an optical illusion caused by the wide-angle lens in the camera. I was flying VFR and during my descent I was no closer than 1,000' AGL.

 

Near the end of the flight, as I was passing Mt. Diablo on my right, I dipped a bit lower to do some sightseeing (I used to live there) and to intercept the approach path for the runway.

You found the only rain in CA.

Thanks for sharing your flight, Joe.

Indeed! It was quite surprising.
