Map of the flight


The weather started out good, but we ended up loosing 2+ days over the week. Monday and Tuesday threw torential downpours, high winds, hail, lightening, and even tornados at us. Outside of Albuquerque the hail got to almost hardball size and left many vehicles dented. We were lucky in town.

We managed two Dawn Patrols, two aternoon flights, and six Fiesta flights although one was a continuation of a dawn patrol after we landed to swap tanks and passengers.

The map above is a composite of Dawn Patrol and Fiesta flights.

The following map covers the two afternoon flights. The flight on the 8th didn't cover much ground, and the approach to landing involved a couple of circles!
