SE Asia Server 226 nm Cruise 120 knots
This Friday we’ll tour the high country in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, including a fly-by of Mt.Whitney. “Crowning those granite behemoths is Mount Whitney, the loftiest peak in the lower 48 states, which scrapes the sky at 14,505 feet. Besides its chart-topping height, what distinguishes Whitney from other California “fourteeners” is the world-famous hiking trail leading to its summit.”
Several off-airport landings including one that’s only possible using live weather to enable a frozen lake landing area ( Martha Lake at 11,100 ft above sea level ASL)
The route begins at SCL9 Johnson Field ( 1280 ft ASL ), climbs to over 14,000 ft and ends at StovePipe Wells L09 at 25 ft ASL in Death Valley.
To join: just turn up at the starting airport in a suitable aircraft.
