Looking like we are going to have a real good turnout.

Just a bump here. Who else is coming? The desert is in excellent shape!

If I'm seeing it correctly this should be the FMG(mustang VOR) 132* @29NM does that check out? :?:

Re: Oct 27-28 High Sierra Fly In

I can't leave Friday night. I'll have to leave at daylight Sat morning. I'm close to 2 hours away in my plane. I'm guessing I am going to have to set up an alternative meeting point with you guys.

Damn, it's 10 hrs for me.

I want an XL and promise to add, "I once again missed a cool landing ".
