I filed the RAYDR2 BLAQQ sid which requires a level off at 7000 for a brief moment.... then we'll be able to let our Lear show her true climb prowess

Grabbing the weather we'll plan a visual approach at TRM, but we need to make a large teardrop to lose altitude first

You're clearly in your elements, with this jet, Ryan....ready to escape with no more prospect of "lost wages"...🙂...

Level off for just a brief moment at 7,000 ft and then zoom upwards at 7,000 fpm....🙂...sounds like good fun...

Beautiful set of pics and nice commentary from the trip...!
