PilotRob Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 My wife and I decided to get out of town a while back and headed to Sedona, AZ from Denver for the weekend. With all the Colorado wildfires, we choose a southern route along the CO front range and then turned westerly over La Veta Pass...This leg is filled with ATC interaction, a little radio relay, and then a stop in Gallup, NM. Enjoy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ward Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Welcome to MS! There are many of us based at BJC - looked like the East Ts in the opening. How did you find LaVeta? That’s one I’ve not had occasion to do but have heard it gets spicy with rotors coming off the SDC range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one I’ve not had occasion to do but have heard it gets spicy with rotors coming off the SDC range. La Veta was good on the day of this flight. Winds were calm to relatively moderate and as I passed through, it was pretty easy to maintain a near constant updraft just by reading the terrain and wind direction. Yep, that's the East T's. My hangar faces out to the new SheltAir facility. Hope to run into you... Edited November 7, 2020 by PilotRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Welcome on board!! And very nice video. One question and one suggestion. What headset is your wife using, is this Bose? And here my suggestion, try to play with other camera angles, this helps a lot in getting to understand what is going on. Nice video!!!

Totally agree. It was the first thing I did after buying the J... You can see them installed in all the more recent videos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
