Good memories

I worked on my commercial multi there and a basic aerobatics course at Sunrise.

Highly recommended by the way.

But I never could bring myself to call it John Wayne. Nothing against the man. It'll always be Orange County to me.

I'm trying hard to figure what's to like.
I guess arriving is not so bad.
Departing though, is another story.
Major PITA.

I just love that cutback at 800'.

So do the Pax ! I always notice how quiet it gets in the cabin when you rip 'em back.

Better be on your ball game or Tower will have you for lunch! "American start coming up on the power NOW or exit my runway immediately" "Cessna 428 you have traffic of your right to the parallel, DO NOT cross your final" "No Skywest I need the full hold short readback for the tapes"

Sna

Ehh i used to be a fan. Since newport changed names they're not too GA friendly with some minimum fuel or We'll charge you 30 bucks kinda junk. Also not really too fond of the #5 for take off following 737's. Don't get me wrong its cool to play around the big boys but not when the hobbs is ticking and you're still waiting my .02
