Rob, along with a lot of other folks we have been to the wreck site, but a lot of wreckage has been moved in order, as I under stand it, so the folks riding on the tram won't see the wreckage of the crash, meaning the actual site, but the wreckage is still there but placed where the folks on the tram can't see it. strange huh.

Hi, fool you! back again.
Well, shucks, here we go again, we took off from Albuquerque KABQ to Safford, AZ. KSAD. A very good flight flying up and around the mountains in Western, NM. and Eastern Arizona. But as usual we all made it, but Mr. Willy had some problems landing as with the rest of us trying to keep the air speed down. No tailwind was showing for runway #30, but you could have fooled me, or as was mentioned that some one greased the glide pass! A little history, south of Safford is the old Fort Grant and it was alleged that Fort Grant was the first place where Billy the Kid claimed his first victim, but you can never tell about the legends around about the bad guys of the old west. A personal note further south is where my Great-Grandparents homesteaded way over a hundred years ago. thanks for watching.

Hello and goodbye until tomorrow, one last picture. All parked and ready to go this day.
Hey Everybody,We had a very nice flight from KSAD Safford to KFLG Flagstaff, well, we had some problems with the wind as usual kept swinging around one minute a nice tailwind and the next a headwind just can't seem to win with the old wind. Next flight will be into the KLAS Las Vegas which could be a little busy on approach with all the flights coming and going at Vegas, Hehe, what happens there stays there, Right. Picture, all crews and aircraft preparing for take off at Safford. See you later.
Howdy folks, Hey, Willy and myself got those round engines all fired up thought we might has some little problems getting them started, colder than heck here in Flagstaff, did the Pre-flight run up and headed for KLAS, Las Vegas. The weather was clear and some of the folks on our plane got a glimpse at the Grand Canyon as we approached Las Vegas. For a change made a nice and even approach into 25R and a good landing. Willy went down town to see what the heck was going on in the old town, and had a wee bit of a problem as he was flying down the strip, when his airspeed dropped off fairly fast, but he made it. Picture, AA setting at Flagstaff.
Shucks, it me again. Forgot to up load the picture of AA flying pass the Hoover Dam, in my day, it was called Boulder Dam hehe 
Hey there!Not a bad flight from KLAS to KSAN, we were going along just great and then the darn auto/pilot decided it didn't want to go KSAN and for awhile we were all over the sky, Finally, shut down the heading on the A/P and trim her out and hand flew her into KSAN. Was surprised the how well she handled under the above conditions. Another thing I sure hope we did leave everything in Vegas. hehe. The picture is of the AA climbing out of Las Vegas. Hehe Adios Vegas!
Today, if all goes right, we should be continuing our flights today heading to Bakersfield KBFL. at the southern end of the Great Central Valley of California.

Plus the accumulated late fees as well.
No pics, but we flew on in to San Francisco (KSFO). I got a reminder of why I don't like large airports and cities in FSX. Had to land with framerates at 8fps. I just picked a spot out in the middle of the open and set it down there.
