I never got around to letting y'all know I got done writing up the
stuff from the Nellis trip.
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/flights/20071111/index.html
There are still a few pictures I wanted to add in yet, but otherwise
it's done.
The entire time was a great time, including the show, even though you'll
see I got a bit ticked off that day.  It was great to get to see the
RV-10 builders, and I'd never seen the Stealth fighter on the ground
before. The F-35 was even there too.
Can't wait until the next trip now. Not sure where that will be. Once
we get to Jan/Feb we'll probably stay home a lot for some skiing, but
we may have an opportunity around the holidays.
Enjoy,
Tim

Tim,
Curious about your flight plan to SLC from Valentine.........waypoints etc. Looking to go to Las Vegas in a few weeks...........what is the preferred NORTH route like you took via SLC.

That was actually pretty easy. Going to Valentine and over direct to
SLC (BTF) was pretty easy. The hard part was just going over
the mountain right at BTF. Just call approach as you get there
because there's no good way other than over the mountain in just the
right spot to do it without busting airspace. From SLC, it was a
very easy flight down to Bryce Canyon VOR, and then basically
direct Vegas. You'll fly down parallel to mountain ranges, so
you're right next to long lines of mountains, but you're scooting
along at comfortable altitudes (we used 10,500) and there isn't
anything big to get in your way. Really easy actually, although
had I just done it alone without knowing the land I probably
would have been paranoid a bit....not out of knowing I was in
mountains, but out of not knowing how simple that flight could
be.
I went KLUM to KVTN to Guernsey for a kiddie poop break, and then
direct BTF.
That North route is an hour shorter than the south for me, or more.
I couldn't do it on the way home because of a storm.

My preferred route from SLC (KOGD) to Vegas, you pick the airport, is FFU
(west of Provo)(go by it and not over it, it is on a mountain), Delta,
Milford, Mormon Mesa VOR and into Vegas.

Everyone....take Rene's or Scott Schmidt's advice on this one.
My experience is limited to that one flight and Scott and I didn't
want the shortest route, we wanted a scenic one. So, I'm sure
there are better ways. Anyway, it was much easier than I thought
it would be.

Rene, that is the most direct route. I typically fly over Delta, Milford, west of St. George. But I wanted to take Tim and his family around Bryce Canyon, next to Zions, and also wanted to stay near the snow capped mountains.
By the way, how many RV-10's were at Copperstate this year?
