#53 King Air F90 to Big Bear (L35)

This week we take you along on a quick flight to Big Bear (L35) and back down to Long Beach in our company's F90 King Air. We have done a video on this airplane before if you're interested in learning about this aircraft in bigger detail. Big Bear is a challenging airport especially in the summer months due to its high elevation of 6,752 ft. Now in December, density altitude isn't an issue, especially when you're flying in a F90 King Air. However, it's been really foggy in the LA Basin these past few days with lots of diversions to airports located closer in the inland. We were lucky enough to make it back into Long Beach before it fogged up for the night. We hope you enjoyed this quick little flight with us!
As mentioned in the video, we'd like to hear some questions that you might have for us! Please ask away in the comment section below!

Wow - One of the very best pilots flying one of the very best G.A.U. aircraft in and out of one of my favorite airports? This guy is an inspiration in every aspect. What more can I ask for? The only thing missing is the snow-covered backdrop. Not to compare myself in any way - not even close - but L35 is the scene of my best arrival and departure operations - smoothest landings. I guess I attribute that to the bit of extra care/attention it kind of requires plus I had to do those check rides in and out of there for the high-density altitude experience. My bucket list includes piloting a F90 - even if it's just an instructional flight. I'll probably never make that but watching this guy is almost close enough. Again, not to be smart a*&ed, but my first favorite SoCal airport to fly in and out of was LO5 (Kern Valley) approaching from the SE up through that pass tracking that State Route then threading the needle on downwind to base and final for the 18 to land facing the lake. That's another one where I was usually pleased with my landings and departures despite initial apprehension. It would be neat to see Rich fly the F90 in and out of there. As I recall, not much crosswind risk at runway elevation but the gradient/eddy winds coming in and out of there were sometimes a factor.

Thank you for your reply and compliments! We were actually considering flying to Kern Valley but then something came up and we headed for Big Bear instead! Definitely planning a flight to L05 in the future - maybe in the King Air! Where are you based out of? Are you still current?

Your videos have improved over the past two years. Not that they were bad before. Now you are fairly consistent with the info you give in each video, which is nice. Things like realistic speeds compared to the manufacturers published figures. Also fuel consumption, comparing the plane in the video to others in the same market. Just a lot of good info. Keep up the solid work.

@@FlyingwithRich it was decades ago when I worked for an FBO at PDK no longer in business. Flew right seat from ATL to PDK relocation flight. Got to do the takeoff. Was fresh multi rating at the time and was not prepared for the climb rate of the C90. It was a blast! Been flying a Cirrus SR22 these days and just got my double-I. Flight instruction is part time thing, (day job is IT sales), but would love to do some contract right seat in a King Air.
