Entering the pattern, right traffic runway 27, Pine Mountain Lake (Q68, 2002)
Familiar places from above and below...
Lake Tahoe from 9,500' (2000)
That damn bridge, from 12R at 2,500'
The City from 1,500' on the Bay Tour
SFO from 1,200' on the Bay Tour
The wind farm, Altamont
The (Sacramento) Delta from 4,500'
Arrow 4929J at Santa Maria (KSMX)
On the "ramp", looking towards the departure end of runway 31, Ruth, CA (Q95, 2002). Yes, you have to fly over that hill at the
end of the runway in the distance to escape or land. Or dogleg up the Mad River through the canyon on final from the other direction without
seeing the runway until you're on rather short final...
