Finished my current #XPlane #flightsim mission to fly my hopped up (750HP) Cessna 172SP to every airport I flew my Cherokee 235 to in real life.
Finished up at Gillespie Field (KSEE) in San Diego.
A crew was flying the 172 home, so I picked up my #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet and flew back to Eugene in prep for a new East Coast assignment into shitty WX (lucky me).
On descent, ran fuel dry. QUICKLY switched to ferry tank, re-fired the single engine, and made the field.

Headed into the L.A. Basin now on my #XPlane #flightsim mission to fly to every airport I flew my Cherokee 235 to in RL.
Destination today was Whiteman Airport (KWHP) just west of Burbank (KBUR). This is the airport where I picked the 235 up when I bought it, first flight (with CFI on board) was thru L.A. airspace.
Parked in front of the hangar where I picked up the 235.
Next up, KBUR, Fallbrook and two airports in San Diego to finish this up.

Finished up the Central San Joaquin Valley airports I flew into in RL on this latest #XPlane #flightsim mission.
Had to stop at Woodlake Airport (O42) on the eastern edge of the valley. The little building shown was actually a very good diner on the field, and it was a frequent stop for Fresno-area GA pilots for an incredible $100 breakfast.
Catching my breath before heading into the L.A. basin for Burbank and Whiteman, then south to Fallbrook before finishing in San Diego.

Still banging away on the #California #airports I flew to in RL, using my #XPlane #flightsim Cessna 172SP (w/G1000).
Flew IFR into Fresno/Yosemite Int'l (KFAT, don't judge), then a 5.5NM scud run to Fresno/Chandler, down to Selma's tiny little airport, and east over to where much of this started, Reedley Municipal Airport (O32).
Flew probably 30% of my flight training out of Reedley. And in those days, there was no such thing as "Pom Wonderful Airstrip" but I bet I can guess what they grow.

EZY8075: EGKK 🇬🇧 -> LEMG 🇪🇸 in the #A32N. An adventurous flight. Found out you can open the cockpit windows in the #TolissA320, but forgot to close them. Realized at FL140, struggled to get them closed. Another test for the oxygen masks I guess. Also, random failures enabled, a hydraulic pump failed but could reach our destination safely nonetheless.

Terminal Velocity was released 30 years ago in May 1995. A Windows version was released later in September as Fury3, which was the first game to run natively in Windows 95.
Playing this coming from X-Wing and TIE Fighter, this game was different and much simpler. But it plays a lot like Quake in a fighter plane, which was a real blast.

Finished my day of #Xplane #flightsim flying at Madera Municipal Airport. This is where I soloed, so it holds a special place in my logbook.
Interesting find on the ramp. You just don't see a Cessna T-41 Mescalero every day.
"The Cessna T-41 Mescalero is a military version of the popular Cessna 172, operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and Army, as well as the armed forces of various other countries as a pilot-training aircraft."
