  1. Hilo International PHTO → Ellison Onizuka Kona International PHKO

    While I'm still figuring out where my next multi-leg journey will take me, I thought: why not see if the Cessna 172 can fly over Mauna Kea? Its service ceiling is 14,000 ft, and Mauna Kea stands at 13,803 ft.

    So, I packed some oxygen and took off. After a wide circle around the volcano and the slowest climb of all time (100–200 ft/min), the altimeter maxed out at 15,000 ft, leaving me with a comfortable margin over the summit.

  6. Eareckson Air Station PASY → Casco Cove PAAT

    With this small leg, I've finished my trip, which took me all the way from San Diego up the US West Coast (and a bit of Canada) to the western tip of the Aleutians. All in all, that was about 4,500 nm (8,300 km) with plenty of amazing impressions.

    I'm now thinking about where the next big journey will take me.

  11. Adak PADK → Eareckson Air Station PASY

    This is the longest leg of the current journey: there are no runways for 350 nm between these two airports. Two highlights are worth mentioning:

    1. During this leg, I crossed the 180th meridian, so I am now traveling in the Earth's Eastern Hemisphere.

    2. I filed Petropavlovsk UHPP as my alternate for this flight. Accordingly, the King Air had to be heavily fueled: After all, it’s another 570 nm from Eareckson to Petropavlovsk.

  16. Atka PAAK → Adak PADK

    At just under 100 nm, this is actually one of the shorter distances between two airports here in the western Aleutians. It's another perfect route for the Cessna and, with the good weather, comfortable enough to hand-fly.

  21. I've been flying a Vans RV-8A (by AOA Simulations) in X-Plane 12 and it flies real nice. It takes off and lands without much input. Trims nicely. Maybe that's just the sim, but it feels nicer than other GA prop planes in X-Plane. #XPlane12 #FlightSimulator

  26. Nikolski Air Station PAKO → Atka PAAK

    Visually, there were some strong Hawaii vibes along the way – the colors of the volcanic landscape felt familiar to me sometimes.
