What did you fly today?

Awesome pics, Sir Simon!  ;D

Assuming you're flying with real weather? Reno has been getting a lot of clouds from the same storm systems that have been causing all the rain and flooding in southern California. I love BKN/OVC screenshots! Thanks for posting these!

Looks like you're having fun and found a great combo with the mentor. That's a very appropriate aircraft to fly since the famous Reno Air Races are held there and attract a lot of highly modified warbirds.

As a fan of GT, the air races are the world's fastest motorsport!

These air races are held at none other than Reno-Stead field!

The Javelin lets me cover more of Reno quicker!

Wow - you'll be over Reno in a heartbeat with that plane, Simon!

Just what are these farms? or crop circles?!

Assuming you're asking a serious question, ;D those are irrigation pivots; huge irrigation systems that have a pivot in the center of a circular field. Here's a shot from the state of Washington scenery:

You'll see a lot more of these in the NorCal scenery, too.

I've been flying a new fun approach I made up today. It was pretty tricky, but anything is possible with the Sundowner.

I actually did a grass landing in a Sundowner after my first few lessons about 13 years ago.  Scared the living crap out of me when the instructor did it first, but wasn't so bad after that.
