Learning to fly but I ain't got wings - a sim pilot's diary

Mojave (MHV) - Inyokern (IYK)

A short cross country flight, just to stay in the sim routine while studying.

A sunny morning in Mojave. Not entirely surprising - I guess there’s a reason why the airline graveyard is here.

Lining up on RW 30 - a gentle Northerly wind here this morning.

Checking out the ‘graveyard’ on the climb out.

Leaving the busy hub of Mojave behind. I have to say I’ve seen more positive places in my time, despite all the interesting air/space stuff that’s there.

A bit of cloud lingering in the West - not enough to worry me and it’ll probably get burned off in the Californian sun soon enough.

Flying over the Red Rock Canyon State Park - a great camping spot there if you ever end up that way. Edwards Air Base is only a day trip away too!

Arrived at Inyokern. I might fly around these parts a bit more, actually - brings back good memories of our US road trip! :slight_smile:
