January 15, 20233 yr A fairly long-ish flight from me in a slower aircraft. L70 Agua Dulce to Reid-Hillview KRHV (last time I approached from the north). And an updated C182 which works much better. Flight planned about 130 true but serious headwinds kept me from cruising much above 100 knots. I started at 10k but climbed to 12k due to turbulence. We finished with the RNAV 31R into RHV. Please enjoy some of these views as I progress over Gorman, Avenal (near the Wonderful Pistachios company airport 2CN4), Paso Robles, Salinas, and land just in the outskirts of San Jose CA. Also staring Vincent's wonderful L70 freeware scenery!

January 17, 20233 yr Beautiful Ryan, really beautiful! I have to get that L70 now, I loved the one they used to sell in P3D. Jack Sawyer
January 17, 20233 yr A nice report of a great journey Ryan. My guess is, that you also have freeware Big Bear installed by the look of the tree absence at L70? If that is the case, there is an update for Big Bear at .to which brings the trees at L70 back.
January 20, 20233 yr Ryan, glad you visited my neighborhood (I live about 7-8 miles away from Agua Dulce). Darryl
