Started the flight with the SWS PC12 which was a great fit for the flight!

Started a few minutes late, so I got to see everyone setting off at dusk which was pretty cool.

Stunning!

Had some performance issues so I switched to the FSR500 afterward and it was smooth sailing!

A very foggy approach, didn’t have runway visual until about 140 feet AGL.
