I've been watching your P-38 flights to see how they compare speed-wise to mine. Your AYGN-AYPY leg was 36:44 and mine was 36:43. I'd say we're pretty darn close! All of our other legs that have been the same have had durations within 2 minutes of each other. We should compare notes. :)

I see you're taking a slightly different route for these middle legs. Interesting! Best of luck!

yea, those are some pretty close comparisons. Without the GPS it's hard for me to know when to start the descent and so I've been coming in way too hot every time. Had to go around one place, because couldn't slow down fast enough before the runway. Sure wish I had those dive flaps.
