Полеты на RV

The next day we departed Catalina for Long Beach, California, 29 miles to the east. Here we will have lunch with my longtime friend Tim and his wife.

First stop, Avalon Harbor for a quick photo. The big round building is the casino and dance hall built by Wrigley in the 1920's as a tourist attraction to the island.

So beautiful from 1000 feet up.

Looking east. The big wake you see in one of the high-speed catamarans serving the island from Long Beach and Dana Point.

I seemed to have lost my fear of over-water flying, as the trip to Long Beach was at 2000 feet and very enjoyable. 2300 rpm, and 130 mph. Flight plan said we would burn 2 gallons of gas. The large number of containerships backlogged in the harbor are due to the Chinese Corona virus. Thanks China!

The controller is very helpful, and clears us direct to the Queen Mary. It was placed in Long Beach in 1967 as a floating hotel, following it's retirement. Covid has put the hotel and ship into bankruptcy. THANKS CHINA!

When we landed, Ross Aviation rolled out the red carpet for Lady Maya. She was very impressed! Here you can see her doing her best Melania Trump impression.

After a year on the job, Vlad finally got that well-earned promotion! Remember Vlad, $hit runs downhill!

Надо знать все операции которые выполняют подчинённые 😊 Горячий сезон на пороге - страна готовится к отдыху.

Человек должен знать свои ограничения.

Мы пообедали с Тимом и его женой, заправили бензобаки и вылетели в Финикс. От Феникса до Авалона до Лонг-Бич потребовалось всего 23 галлона. После взлета мы получили радарную службу,

и получил отличную управляемость на всем пути домой. Довольно много самолетов на этом маршр

On a shallow descent into Phoenix, with the help of the wind, we saw 205 mph groundspeed.

На неглубоком спуске в Феникс, с помощью ветра, мы увидели скорость 205 миль в час.

Who is Vlad, and what's wrong he did before?

Vlad is my Russian comrade. I make joke about his "promotion". Still has his old job as water treatment specialist in the Utah forest.
Влад-мой русский товарищ. Я шучу по поводу его "повышения". До сих пор работает специалистом по очистке воды в лесу штата Юта.
Vlad's airplane. Van's RV-9 Самолет Влада. Фургон RV-9

N666BK, который пишет в этой ветке, и есть Влад. 😉

Джон просто прикалывает его. На самом деле Влад бывший военный летчик и серьезный самолетостроитель и еще более серьезный самолетолетатель. 🙂

Yes indeed, Vlad is a very accomplished builder and pilot. As a matter of fact, he helped me finish my airplane when my building motivation was at a new low. He works fast, accurately and knows the plans very well. He built a slow build 9A in 3 years.

Да, действительно, Влад-очень опытный строитель и пилот. На самом деле, он помог мне закончить мой самолет, когда моя строительная мотивация была на новом низком уровне. Он работает быстро, точно и очень хорошо знает планы. Он построил свой медленный build 9 A за 3 года и летал на нем больше, чем кто-либо в Америке.

Just found this photo of our base to final turn at Catalina. I stayed high because of the wind on final.. You can see the western shoreline of the island.
Только что нашел эту фотографию нашей базы до последнего поворота на Каталину. Я держался высоко из-за ветра на финале. Вы можете увидеть западную береговую линию острова.
