I Really Hate Known Icing Conditions and LIFR

Another one done! Went To Dam Fast!

Early morning 9 : 05am Pacific Time Departure from KTTD, I am in Reno, NV at 12pm. I Eat lunch gass up and off I go about 1pm back up to 11.5k land in KFFZ at 5:30 Arizona Time. On a SW flight Back Home Lands At 11:45PM Pacific Time WOW!!!!! What a long fast paced day. I need to get me one of them TR182's

Ive only had the luxury of having one turbocharged plane going over those mountains. Its nice but it was a T-tail Lance, which really neutralizes any positives. Its always fun to fly from KIXD to California in one day. Usually takes around 14 hours. Pretty tired but wired at that point.

If you hate it then why do you fly???Isn't that why we fly for the rush, to feel the excitement of the "High and the Mighty", and "Fate is the Hunter"
Bring on the ice, bring on the LIFR, that is what it is all about....Right.

Agreed. I love the soup and chase it whenever I can. Theres nothing like shooting an ILS and breaking out with the rabbit to guide you home. I rarely get to do it but look forward to more opportunities.
