Team Miss Behavin’, that would be me and Martina on this day, set out to fly from Van Nuys, CA to Santa Rosa, CA.

We met up with some fast forming rime ice on Miss Behavin’ starting at 10,000 feet near Gorman VOR. This caused us to climb to 14,000 feet above the clouds to stop ice formation and to contemplate what to do.

We prudently turned around back to Van Nuys as you can easily see on our tracks. With Southern California (SoCal) flight center we picked a nice steep decent through the clouds and approached Van Nuys on the ILS approach. All went well and SoCal was terrific.

This was our first flight with Spidertracks hooked up…it’s pretty neat. Try enlarging the image or changing it between map, terrain or satellite views.

I have set the tracks to show feet instead of meters, and speed in knots instead of meters but something appears to have changed. I will talk to the Spidertracks team to correct the problem. I must admit Samantha and Lisa my Canadian friends are quite please with the metric system displayed; however, for us Yanks I’ll go back to feet

Martina my friend and flight instructor, who is helping me prep for the North Atlantic excursion will be blogging on the site shortly to give her perspective. Martina used to pilot the Goodyear blimp. That just tickles me!
