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?

I have 3,000+ hours in SN218 an F-90-1. Most missions were Bay Area to ktrk with longer trips to SoCal and Canada. That plane was bulletproof and I never had a missed mission due to mechanical issues.

@@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.
