We left New Orleans early as it was going to be a long day. There was a cold front moving through and the wind going to the East was really bad. It took us 4 1/2 hours to get to El Paso, TX. where we had lunch at a little Mexican restaurant. The second flight to Van Nuys was a little better and took only 3 hours.
I had so much stuff in the airplane that it took forever to get it unloaded.
When we were leaving New Orleans we saw this Osprey taking off. It was unbelievable to watch, ok maybe the pilot friends would appreciate it more. In level flight the blades go down 11 feet past the wheels. It flies at about 250 knots and burns 3,000 pounds per hour, wow.
Really cool to watch - I had never seen one before.
The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway
El Paso, TX
At least it was a beautiful day - unseasonably cool.
On the ground in El Paso for fuel and Mexican food.
The Colorado River and returning to California - yea!
