I make the route today, right now have been finished it (tomorrow I will be working at event time) and in GCXO the dust o fog is to much, and from GCXO to GCLP at 3000 ft, is in middle of the fog all the way.


Hola Rommel, perhaps we will change the weather to 'high pressure region' for better visibility, thank you for trying the route and sorry you can't make it this evening.

Nice trip, and I'm glad we celebrated our two anniversarys!

The first one was Chris and me meeting the first time online at the Canarian islands. I think this was roughly a year ago now.

The second one was me crossing the 260 hours mark on my C182s hobbs meter (only productive flights counted, no development flights).


Here you can spot Volador in the lower left of my windshield. This picture was taken very roughly two minutes from the spot where I made my first screenshot of him at our first meeting (which was not an appointment, he just was there in the air next to me at the time :) )

The birds flock i mentioned Northwest of the runway at Teneriffe North:

After the session Mariusz and I had a nice chat over jitsi with face time about blender modeling (the C182 got a new davtron texture) and about computer science/parallelization.
A very nice evening for me indeed!

Thank you, friends!

Yes, this was a very nice beginning of a next cycle, and a very nice evening.
And we had ATC.
Cheers!

To think of that I missed all this … :x :cry:

At the beginning I had some time, and almost crashed into Volador after coming out of a thick cloud:

A pity I couldn't make it.

We might have to run a midair safety campaign ;) Difficult to scan with our small screens, but difficult in real life as well.

Nice trip to mark the anniversary of where it all started and very impressive (or frightening?) that Beni managed to grab a pic in the same spot a year on, Special thanks to Michat for the tips on radio comms and some needed traducción for our Spanish friends joining us on the trip. I think I'll make a cheat sheet and pin it to the wall for next time: Who are you, where are you, where are you heading and what are your intentions....
I only managed to grab one pic last night as it was quite busy and I had the added challenge of my home-made rudder pedals which also kept me entertained. Some mechanical friction things still to tweak but really impressed with the hall sensor stability and accuracy. I may end up re-making some parts in plywood and asking around to use a pillar drill for some extra cutting precision.

Well, as you made it safely down again you seem to be a good do-it-yourselfer ! Do you also have a home-made airplane ? :mrgreen:
